  The blog is set to private and you failed to tell us which theme you are using. If we knew which theme is was we would provide an instant answer.

  If what I post below does not change the case of the lettering in the site title, not the URL which will always be in lower case letters, then the theme is not designed to allow you to change case and you will need a custom design upgrade to do it.

  Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same. 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.

  See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:

  If you do purchase the upgrade then post into the CSS Forum by using this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform
  Note that all CSS editing is theme specific editing and helping you with it means Volunteers are in the unenviable position of not being able to see the blog if you insist on keeping the blog visibility private.

  I edited the css to have
  .site-title {
  text-transform: none;
  }
  and this had no effect.
  So I tried
  .site-title {
  text-transform: lowercase;
  }
  and this had no effect.
  – I am at a loss to know why

  You failed to post a blog URL and failed to state what the theme you are using is named. All CSS editing is theme specific editing. Assuming you are referring only to a free hosted WordPress.COM blog and no other, to start a thread in the CSS Forum use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform

  Thanks for the URL. It’s exactly what I guessed. That’s NOT a free hosted WordPress.COM blog and we do not provide support for it here. You are posting to the wrong support forum. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate, have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  We provide support only for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and not for WordPress.org software installs. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
