renamed wordpress URL not working
-
Hi,
today I created this blog as
http://allweblogicforyou.wordpress.com
but later felt it would be good as
http://Lammeki-WeblogicOneStop.wordpress.com.
I have made the necessary changes in settings.
However whenever I would access the rename site, I would end up with wordpress telling me it cannot find the site http://Lammeki-WeblogicOneStop.wordpress.com.
Please help me with the changes I wanted.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You’re confusing your blog’s name and your blog’s address.
Your blog’s name is Lammeki-WeblogicOneStop. You can change that under Settings ->General. Changing the name has no effect whatsoever on the address.
Your blog’s address is http://allweblogicforyou.wordpress.com/
If you want to change the address you need to do so from the My Blogs page on the dashboard. That said, you won’t be able to change it to http://lammeki-weblogiconestop.wordpress.com/ as you cannot use punctuation marks like “-” in a URL.
Instructions to change your blog URL are found in this support doc: http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
Please make sure you read the support doc and all instructions and warnings carefully as this process cannot be reversed.
When prompted whether you’d like to keep the old URL or delete it, consider keeping it as deleted URLs can never be recovered: http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
Rather, set the old address to private, and then you can either use it as a test blog to try out new themes and widgets, etc., or you can use it as a backup to your regular blog by periodically importing content to it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
As part of the process you’ll also have the option to change your username to match the new address. Note that if you do this your current username will cease to exist and you won’t later be able to go back to it. If you prefer, you can also keep your username what it is and simply change your display name (what will appear next to comments – on the forum it will still be the actual username that appears). Instructions to do that can be found here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

As per the instructions in the documents, I could not see the Continue button, hence my new address is not changed…

Lammeki -
my new blog address is
lammekiweblogiconestop.wordpress.combut i do not see any Continue button

Are you speaking of this part:
Once you have completed the form, click Continue, and you will be prompted with a summary of the changes you requested. Review this page and click on Continue again to change your address. http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
It could be that they changed the buttons and didn’t update the support doc. I haven’t changed a blog address in a while, so I only have the support doc to go on.
If there’s no option that says “Continue” there might be one that say “Okay”, or “Change Address”, or “Confirm” or something along those lines. Will you please try this again and see if there’s anything like that?
