  I have looked for this but can’t find the answer. I want to change the name of my blog, not the address. The name has the year 2014 in it and I want to take that out.

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

  The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General … “save changes”.

  That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.
