  You can change your site address to correct a typo using the steps on this page:

  Note: The current site name would no longer be available for use in the future.

  WordPress doesn’t have a way to just correct an error in the body of the blog???? That sucks!

  Why would I want to change the blog address?

  I apologize, I misunderstood what you were trying to do.

  The following page shows how you can edit posts:

  That gives instructions for changing many things but not for correcting an error in the BODY of blog.

  “Quick Edit lets you modify the post details such as title, slug, date, author, password, privacy, categories, tags, comments, status, and sticky.”

  None of the other instructions apply to my blog. So I guess I’ll just trash it and go blog somewhere where the instructions are clear and doable.

  Could you please provide a link to the page the typo is on so I can make sure you have the right guidance to fix it?

  I think Geoffrey had already supplied you with the correct information.
  Have you tried going to https://oerganix.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ and clicking on that post (or page). You can then edit it as much as you want.

  I’m sorry to hear you are still having trouble with this. There are a couple other things you could try:

  • It looks like that may have been your second post. Make sure you are logged into your site, then try visiting this link: https://wordpress.com/post/mecfswordpresscom.wordpress.com/2
  • Make sure you are logged in to your site, then visit your link https://mecfswordpresscom.wordpress.com/2015/10/30/one-size-fits-all-medicine-doesnt-fit-m-e/. There should be a floating menu in the bottom right corner of your screen that will have Customize and Edit. Clicking Edit should allow you to edit your post and correct the typo.
  • Visit your WP Admin Dashboard; you can access this by adding /wp-admin/ to the end of your website address. For example, https://mecfswordpresscom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/. Click Posts in the left column; his will bring up all your posts. Find the one you are trying to fix the typo on and click the title/name of the post. This will bring you to the edit screen.

  I hope at least one of those things work for you!
