I changed my URL. How long until it is linked from my name on comments?

  I changed my URL and cleared my cache, but my comments are still linking to my old site.

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

  Your old comments always will. You need to change the Primary Blog on your dashboard Profile page, under Users.

  Thank you! My WP/Gravatar profile already had the new URL in it. The one I just changed is listed at https://wordpress.com/me/account in the “Web Address” field. Are you saying this will never update to my older comments? Just trying to make sense of this; I don’t actually blog, but it would be nice if the link on my name pointed to my static-site domain. Any tips much appreciated!!

  (I see my new comments here have got the right URL, so at least it’ll be fine going forward – Yay!)

  That is correct, your older comments will not change.

  Oh, that’s too bad. I thought that was part of the purpose of a Gravatar, to update everywhere at once. Well, now I know! Thanks so much for explaining it to me.

  I can’t find my url address so I can join a couple other sites and have them link to mine.
  How do I find my url?
