Incorrect spelling of name.

  • Unknown's avatar

    The spelling of my name appears incorrectly when I do a search for Martine Letoile. It has an accent aigu over the “E”, which may be grammatically correct, but I don’t spell my name that way. How can WordPress change my name? And, because of this, no link to my blog shows up, instead it says “Don’t see any posts under the tag you searched for? That’s because there are no posts with that tag yet; maybe you should write the first one.”
    I don’t have an accent key on my keyboard.
    If anyone can help, thank you,
    Martine Letoile

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

    Hi there,

    Are you referring to a Google search for the term “Martine Letoile”? If so, I don’t see the option you’re referring to in the search results as shown here:

    Can you explain a bit more about the search results you’re referring to?

    Yes, a search using ‘martineletoile’. I found it on Bing, the fourth one down on the first page and you’re right, it’s no longer on Google.

    Hi Martine,

    I believe I found the search result you’re referring to here:

    Is that correct? If so, that is a tag search within WordPress.com. Basically, Bing is returning a search result for WordPress.com posts tagged with “Martine L’Étoile”. It is likely showing you and I these results because we frequent WordPress.com, and the search engine is trying to show us results relative to what we like. However, this doesn’t mean that you author the posts. Any posts that show up there would just be posts that are tagged with that phrase. The accents added are also from the search engine and cannot be changed.

    Does that make sense? The search isn’t returning your blog, just a search on WordPress.com for the term, which returned no results.
