how to add another blog to my account?

  • Unknown's avatar

    im new to wordpress, i made an account and created a blog named vietgamer.wordpress.com however, i do not like the name and want to change it. but i;ve heard that i cannot change the name of the blog once i’ve made it. i was told to export the content on that blog then create a new blog and import the the stuff there.

    but how can i make another blog domain? i tried using the “add a new domain” in my account setting but it does not work. please help

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

    Add new Domain or Add new Blog?? – You want to add a new blog

    My Blogs >> Manage Blogs >> Register Another Blog (lower RH corner)

    Then transfer content from old to new with export / import – then set old blog to Private so the bots will not see duplicate content and down rate you – keep old blog for learning and testing – don’t delete it – else it is gone forever and forever

    oooo i thought adding a new blog was the same as a new domain ?

    also when i click My Blog, i do not have a Manage blogs button nor do i have “register another blog”.

    i only have dashboard, new post blog stats, manage comments, and read blog.

    that’s al all. so how do i get another blog?

    Domain is the base URL address, here “add a domain” is used in the context of register a new name such as “jinjin12.com” which you then usually map to a blog here to give you a simpler entry point and one that you can take with you.

    You should also be able to register a new blog:

    Dashboard >> My Blogs (upper part of your left side bar) >> Then you should see the “Register a new blog” in the lower right hand side.

    This only works if you are logged in as Admin.

    btw how do i set a blog to “private” ? and what do you mean by “so the bots will not see duplicate content and down rate you “?

    sorry i am really new to all of this stuff

    also the dashboard is not global right? each dashboard changes the setting for that blog?
