Changnig page urls

  • Unknown's avatar

    Ref: (1) https://wordpress.com/page/reninassancemusings.wordpress.com/1 AND
    (2) https://reninassancemusings.wordpress.com/
    Originally, when I set up this blog several years ago, if I searched or wanted to open the blog, I would use (I think) url (2).
    Now, when I Google ‘reninassancemusings.com’ it takes me to a blog in the middle of my series of blogs Posted August 19, 2017. What I want and need is for a Google search to take me to either the ‘About me’ page or the first blog ever posted (or the most recent) rather than dropping them at the current URL 2.
    How do I fix this? And the page that shows up with url (2) also appears on a page with proper url for that post. It seem sot me that url (2) should be the link to my introductory page or first page. As you tell I am confused. Help!

  • Hi there,

    We are not in direct control of Google, who scans your site for content, and then shows that content in search results based on their own internal rules. In this case, because you do not own the domain ‘reninassancemusings.com’ there is no way for us to control what Google shows as search results for that. More info on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) here: https://wordpress.com/support/seo/

    Do you wish to register reninassancemusings.com so that it is your site address instead of reninassancemusings.wordpress.com?

    If you wish you can add reninassancemusings.com to your account (I see it is available to register) by typing it in here: https://wordpress.com/domains/add/reninassancemusings.wordpress.com

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
