  Hello,

  When creating the WordPress space mentioned in this post, the site advised me that the domain I attempted was taken already (this is true – it’s in use by a Greek blog currently) and then gave me suggestions – which I chose from reluctantly because I wasn’t thrilled by the suggestions, but was also having no luck in finding a compromise on my own.

  The result is that I now have “velanidiwordpresscom.wordpress.com” but would very much like to change that. Is anyone available or experienced that can advise me on how to go about changing this to something less cumbersome or botched-looking?

  Thank you!

  Hi –

  You can register multiple WordPress.com domains under your user account. I would just keep searching for a domain that suits you and then register it. http://wordpress.com/start/domains/

  blogvelanidi.wordpress.com is an available option.

  lizkarkoski,

  Thank you for that suggestion! I’ve taken your advice and registered that available option under my user account.

  Are you able to advise further? … Do you know how I can transfer the content of the one into the one I just registered? Is that even possible? Ultimately I’d like to do away with the domain I’ve been using and just have everything on the one I just registered.
