  Hey – so I started ‘2blackstrayscats.wordpress.com’ and I’ve just realised that in that url is an unwanted ‘s’ (it should be 2 black stray cats, not 2 black stray’s’ cats). So I’ve grabbed 2blackstraycats.wordpress.com and I would like to move everything, including my followers from the original 2blackstrayscats.wordpress.com to 2blackstraycats.wordpress.com – basically just change the url. Can you help?

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

  Hi Valentine

  Yes! So I’ve managed to copy over the content and everything – I just need to figure out the followers now. I’ve put up a post on the incorrect blog to say that I’m moving over and could they please go to the new site and refollower there, but if there is another way, that would be great.
