  I just set up a new blog. It says I need to validate my email address to begin, however I noticed that I misspelled my email: .con should be .com. And it will not let me change the email. Please help.

  While logged into your account, go to account settings and correct your email address: https://wordpress.com/me/account

  When you click the “Save Account Settings” button, there’ll be a message saying that there’s a pending change. Check your inbox for the confirmation email and click the link within to verify your email address. The old address just gets a notice saying the change has been requested. There isn’t a confirmation link included in that one so you don’t need access to that account.

  If you signed up using Gravatar, sign in there first. Then go to WordPress.com and update your email address.

  If none of that works, add “modlook” to the tags for this thread to let WordPress.com staff know that you need assistance with this issue.
