  If you want to change the Site Title (blog name) then the Site title and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General
  “save changes”

  I’ve been trying to find a way to change my blog title, with no luck. In fact no editing seems possible for me at all. For instance, if I bring up dashboard/posts/edit I can make changes but then cannot publish the changes.

  I have found no way at all to change the blog title. All I want to do is remove “Finding Myself” from the title.

  Do I have to start all over?

  I have posted exactly how to do that above.

  Current site Title: Finding Myself: Canada and Northern USA
  Current Tagline: On A Single Guy’s Travels in the North Country: July 30, 2013 until…I’m done.

  Go to > Settings > General
  1st line: Site Title
  2nd line: Tagline
  Make the chnage(s) and click “save changes”

  Thank you, timethief! I got the Site Title change easily accomplished.

  Any ideas on why I can’t seem to edit any of the posts? It seems I can make changes, but then clicking on “publish” results in no response. What happens is that the 4-way arrow pointer appears when I land the pointer on Publish.

  That sounds like a browser related issue to me.

  2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
