  The name of my blog does not show up on my dashboard, just the blog address. How do I change this and if I change it will it show up on my blog? I have a custom header and don’t want the blog name to show up on it.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you are referring to your site’s title, you can adjust that here:

  https://soistartedthisblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

  If you’re referring to your site’s URL, you can change that, as well.

  Please note that the final step in changing your site address allows you to keep or discard the old address. If you are changing your site address so that you can use the address for a new site, please be sure to keep the old address.

  You may prefer to change the address for your site by registering a custom domain name. This takes “wordpress” out of the site address. You can register a custom domain name for your site here:

  You can read more about custom domain names here:

  Thanks for replying. I already have a blog title with regards to the 1st link you posted and I don’t want to change the blog address. I just want to be able to see either my name or my blogs name when I post something in response to the writing 101 post a day challenges. Whenever I post something and it takes me to the reader, my post always show my gravatar and [no title]. How do I change this so that it at least shows my name?

  Here is how your site looks in the Reader:

  

  Outside of changing your site’s title to your name, this will be how your site’s posts are presented in the Reader.

  If I’ve misunderstood the issue, or if you have any other questions, please let me know.
