  I registered with WordPress earlier but I had problems with the initial setup (the point where you change ‘This blog is the bee’s knee’s’, blog name, etc.). My phone froze when adding this info so it’s saved the defaults.
  I’ve looked through the settings sections but I can’t find where to change these.
  Please help? Thanks.

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

  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.

  Another question, it it possible to change the domain name of the blog? So for example to change blabla.worldpress.com to fashion.worldpress.com

  Tnx!

  You cannot edit any URL. If you want to change the .wordpress.com blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// to another .wordpress.com blog address, then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that, and the URL you desire must be available. If so then you can change the URL by using this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/ Note that the change is permanent and irreversible.

  Thanks timethief, I’m sorted with that now!
  Any chance you could help again – I log in from my BB, and the reader page loads incomplete. I just have a banner at the top with ‘menu’ and drop-down arrow that I can’t select, and on top right my gravatar, orange bar graph icon and pencil icon. Nowhere to search or follow others’ blogs, etc. I’ve tried deleting cookies, clearing the cache, the basics. Also battling to find similar problems in any forums. Any ideas please?
