  FIRST, I’m rather tech-challenged and amazed I’ve come this far. So please bear with me!
  SECOND, seems that WordPress gave *lmhawkins1950dotcom.wordpress.com* as its name but that’s NOT s’posed to be the title of this blog!
  THIRD, how do I change the blog name (URL) to the right one: e.g. *WashDC&Me*??
  and
  FOURTH, in future, if I wish to change the blog’s name, can I do that?
  FIFTH, THANK YOU for your help!

  Hello Lisa!

  FIRST, I’m rather tech-challenged and amazed I’ve come this far. So please bear with me!

  That’s what we’re here for! :)

  SECOND, seems that WordPress gave *lmhawkins1950dotcom.wordpress.com* as its name but that’s NOT s’posed to be the title of this blog!
  THIRD, how do I change the blog name (URL) to the right one: e.g. *WashDC&Me*??
  and
  FOURTH, in future, if I wish to change the blog’s name, can I do that?

  To adjust the name of your WordPress.com blog, you can follow these instructions:

  en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  However, because you’ve purchased the custom domain, lmhawkins1950.com, nobody else will see lmhawkins1950dotcom.wordpress.com or WashDC&Me.wordpress.com except you. When folks visit your site, they’ll only see the non-wordpress titled URL.

  If you want to change your custom domain, lmhawkins1950.com/, this isn’t editable. But do not despair! If you would prefer a different custom domain name, you can register a new one by clicking Store in your Dashboard. You can Add a Domain there and go through the registration process.

  FIFTH, THANK YOU for your help!

  The pleasure is mine. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much and happy blogging!
