persistence of old blog name
-
I had a blog/website called Vermont Writers Coop but eventually deleted it. I’m not setting up a new one called Susan V. Weiss. The vermontwriterscoop.com keeps popoping up here and there. How can I permanently and completely eliminate it?
Susan V. WeissThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Define “here and there” please. Someone has purchased and parked that domain now and there is nothing you can do to control it.

OK, on the home page I’m setting up ,for one thing.It presents vermontwriterscoop as my user name. And up on the bar on top for another.
I don’t care if someone else purchased the name anyway since I don’t want it anymore. -
This domain is parked free, courtesy of Dynadot.com

OK, here it is: http://vermontwriterscoop.wordpress.com/
But I must tell you, the site says it’s deleted since I did delete it. Yet it seems to be only partially deleted and sometimes the new site I’m setting up reverts to the old name I was using. -
I’m sorry you’re encountering that problem. Can you please try clearing out your cache and cookies using the guide below?

I did both of these but my site continues to show a mix of old and new names. For logging in, I had to delete vermontwriterscoop and type in susanvweiss. On my home page it says vermontwriters coop posted instead of susan v. weiss. And on the various things up top, dashboard, icon, it’s a mix of both. I want vvermontwriterscoop totally gone. It doesn’t exist anymore!

vermontwriterscoop is the display name of your account. I’ve just changed this to susanvweiss.
You can change the name displayed on your posts and comments by changing the “display name” on your Personal Settings admin panel:
