  Is there a way to change the name of the site? Right now I have the following.

  https://throughlouslens.wordpress.com/
  And would like to change “throughlouslens” to something else.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  To clarify, you also want to change “.wordpress.com” or no?

  If you could clarify, I can help further.

  Thanks!

  Hi there!

  You can change the domain as you said:

  change “throughlouslens” to something else.

  — You can follow these steps that could help you further.

  If you want to change the “.wordpress.com” subdomain, you would have to upgrade, or purchase a domain, as described here.

  Keep in mind that the name you choose may be taken, so choose a great name! Good luck!

  Thanks!

  Hi there!

  So are you saying I have to upgrade just to change “throughlouslens”

  — No, you can still change your blog address to the address you want but still with the .wordpress.comsubdomain as you explained. The steps are found here.

  If you wanted a domain without .wordpress.com, you would have to upgrade or purchase a domain.

  Thanks!
