  I started a test blog and named it “Test Blog”. i invited 4 friends to join to test it out. Now that the test is over and my friends have all joined and been approved as commentors, I don’t want to have to create a “real” blog and re-invite them all. I’d like to just change the name I chose from “Test Blog” to what we want to go with longterm. Thanks

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

  I have a similar problem, but I made my domain the same as my title. I can easily change the title and tag line, but how do I change the domain to match my new title?

  That’s not the same at all. You cannot edit any URL. If you want to change the blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// 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/

  Oh wow. I had no idea. I had heard that you should just pick something because you can easily change it later. I guess it’s a little more complicated! Thanks for the help. I will try what you’ve suggested.
