  How do I change the blog site name?

  The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General … “save changes”.

  That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.

  This is your site title which can be changed easily at any time as I described above.

  This is your blog’s address ie. the URL http://tmcomm.wordpress.com/
