Made a mistake with website name and blog
-
Hi, I’m new to this and created a free website that was named wrong. I wanted to check if the correct name was still available and ended up creating a blog. Arghh! Now I have a blog with the name I intended for the website. Can I change this or do I need to delete my account and start over again?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

HI blhedman, yes you can change the name. Go to “My Site” > “Settings” > Scroll down to “Change your site address” also click on the current name. and you will have the option to change the name of your blog.
Hope this will help.
PS. You will not be able to change back to, ukulelestrumnsing.home.blog.

Hi there,
A free .blog address cannot be changed in the way a free *.wordpress.com address can. But you don’t need to delete anything.
Just click on My Site and click the Add New Site button at the bottom to start creating a new site in your account. If you prefer to have a *.wordpress.com address rather than a .blog address, just skip the first step asking what your site is about and you should see a suggestion for the WordPress.com address in the domains step instead.
If you’re planning to upgrade and use a custom domain on your site the free address does not matter, and you don’t need to change anything. In that case just go to My Site ->Plans and select the plan you want, and then go to My Site ->Domains ->Add to add your custom domain.
Your site address does not determine whether you have a blog or a traditional website. That’s determined by how you set your site up – to have a traditional website just publish pages instead of posts, and set your front page to be a page instead of showing your site’s news feed.
