  Hi all,
  We have created the Measurement Minute blog and would like the url to read something like: http://themeasurementminute.wordpress.com/. It currently reads: http://kristinjones.wordpress.com/. I think this is a pretty simple proces but I have not been able to find the answer any where.

  Please Help.

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

  You cannot rename or change a URL once it is created. What you will have to do is create a new blog on your same account with the name/URL that you want and then transfer over the contents of the existing blog.

  I did the same thing. I actually went into settings and put another domain name that I’m trying to use and after I hit update, the site was dead and I couldn’t log on anymore, nor even get to the dashboard to change it back. I’m trying to ask anyone to help me. Do they have a support phone number?

  @deborahshane, actually the problem described above isn’t the same as yours, which you posted about here. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tried-to-add-my-domain-then-site-went-away-help?replies=2 I answered you there.
