  I would like to make a minor change in the name of my blog? Will WordPress allow me to do this? If so how do I do it? I would like to change it from preacherwithnotongue.com to preacherwithoutatongue.com

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

  Hi there. It’s not possible to edit a custom domain – one has to register a new one. As your domain is more than 48 hours old you can’t get a refund anymore so you might have to pay for a new domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/all-about-domains/#typos

  However, I’ll tag this for staff to follow up in case there’s still something they can do to help you with this.

  Hi there,

  When you register a custom domain name, you’re purchasing the right to use that exact domain name with your site. If you decide you’d like to use a different custom domain name, you’ll need to register it as a new domain name on the Domains page. (As kokkieh mentioned, custom domain names can’t be edited — new domain names have to be registered separately.)

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
