Changing Primary WordPress.com Domain Name
-
I made my wordpress domain the wrong address. I tried to update the primary domain but it will not let me. I want to change it to 756sumter.wordpress.com . How do I do that?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you want to change the blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so then you can change the URL by using this guide

I just changed the domain name. How long does it take to show up in a google search? It is still showing the old domain name that I deleted. And is there anyway to use the old domain name again?

It is here http://756sumter.wordpress.com/

As long as it takes Google to re-dindex the same content under the new URLs and we have no idea how long that will take.It takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. What attracts search engines is unique content in posts (not pages) that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly. For more information read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/
To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
Lastly note that we cannot assist with search engine issues. They are between the blogger and the search engine. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/
And is there anyway to use the old domain name again?
I already answered that above.
