  Hi there,

  I’m afraid I don’t understand. Can you give some more details regarding the problem here?

  Changing your WordPress.com username only changes the name you use to log in, and the name appearing as author on your posts and comments. It shouldn’t have any effect on your site appearing in search results.

  If you try searching for the new username itself in Google, it won’t return any results at this time, as the new username will first need to be indexed by them and other search engines. This can take several weeks.

  Okay, that will also need to be re-indexed by search engines, and can take a few weeks. Keep on publishing new content on your site regularly, and your site should start appearing in search engines under the new address again after a while.

  I realized that the site can be accessed through the address bar, so I will inform the students that they access it (google translate :)
