Problem with my 2 new blogs having the same title.
-
I decided to transfer/switch my present main blog to another blog with a brand new URL.
Somehow, inexplicably, while creating that new blog, I ended up with two new blogs. Possibly that was because in trying to create a new URL, I had to rename it many times because what I had chosen was already taken. Finally at one point there was a message which I did not understand, and I kept trying to get a new URL.
The upshot is that I now have TWO new blogs. This in itself is not a problem, since I will use it for a different kind of blog.
The problem that arose is that although I can click to both of those new blogs, and each blog has a different URL of my choosing, and each one has the correct title at the top of the blog, and each Dashboard > Settings > Site Title has the correct information, there is the following problem:
When I click onto the My Account > My Blogs and I check to see if all the info is correct, I notice that whereas the new blog has the correct name (which is the same name as the old one that I am now using) (remember I am transferring that old blog to the new URL), the info in My Blogs is incorrect in that it gives the title of my third RESERVED blog as identical to the one which will be my new blog.
To avoid confusion: I am going to ease existing RSS people into the new blog (with different URL) through notifications in posts and a sign somewhere on the Home Page. (Wonder how I’ll do that, but I know I can figure it out.) Thus hopefully all my present viewers will sooner or later be shepherded to the new blog with the same name but a different URL.
But to make sure that there is no glitch anywhere, I want to see that the info in My Blogs is corrected to show one of the blogs titled ”RESERVED,”
Please tell me how I can get that information to show correctly in the My Blogs page. As I said earlier, the information is correct if I check all the other areas that need to be checked.
While trying to fix the problem, I hit the Empty Cache key constantly. I clicked to different pages to clear the cache. I did this many times. Those usual precautions did no good in getting the correct name on the new blog.

Below is how that My Blogs page looks: I wrote a note in RED to show the problem graphically.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

First thing to always do in situations like this is to log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart the browser and then take another look.

Dear SacredPath——–Earlier I did indeed clear Firefox along with the other steps. But just now I went to check the Account > My blogs > Site Title….. and the title now says RESERVED! I wonder if just time worked its magic on it?
At any rate, you brought me good luck.
Thanks, Richard………..-LK
