Exchanging blog addresses
-
I accidentally created a second blog address instead of changing my original blog address. Help! Now I technically have two blogs. It looks like if i delete the second one I won’t be able to use that address and thats the address I want to use for my active blog. Any suggestions?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there, You are correct. Do not delete the second site.
To move your content over to the new site, you can export the content from your original site to the new site and then request Staff to move your followers over to the new site. You might also consider purchasing a site redirect to automatically forward any traffic from existing links to your old site found on other websites and search engines to the new site.
Here’s more info on those procedures:
