  I need to change the name of one of the blogs I have. I don’t see how to do it. The one I want to change is tucsonmac.wordpress.com. I’d like to change it to tucsonmtnsartistcollective. It was pointed out that we’d probably show up on searches for macintosh now…

  Also is there a way to unhook this from my personal blog, dianesfusedglass.wordpress.com?

  I said I’d set up a site for the Tucson Mountains Artist Collective. But if I leave the collective in the future, I want to be able to pass it along — and I don’t want to run the risk of my personal blog being deleted.

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

  ucsonmtnsartistcollective is not a URL. Do you mean http://ucsonmtnsartistcollective.wordpress.com? https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/changing-primary-domain-name-1?replies=4

  Unhook what from your personal blog? The other blog? Yes: create a new account, Invite that one to be admin of the blog, and have your first account leave the blog.

  You can only delete a blog from the dashboard of that particular blog. So what you do with one blog has nothing to do with the other.

  OK. So, I’ll add tucsonmtnsartistcollective.wordpress.com and try to redirect the traffic. It’s not finished yet, so we have no traffic, except the artists who are involved.

  How do I set up a new account? That’s what I wanted to do when I set up this second blog, but everything showed up from my original blog.

  You log out, pick a different email, go to http://wordpress.com and create a new account.
