  I would like to rename the site and change it’s URL if possible . If this is not an option i’d like to set up a new site.

  The site I need help with is pidcoke.home.blog.

  Hi,

  Please read this support document that explains how to change your site name.

  https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/

  Please remember

  Once you change the “example” part of example.wordpress.com, the old address will stop working. Visitors will not be redirected to your new site address. The old address will not be available for use again

  Hi there,

  To just change your site’s name that appears at the top of the front page, you can go to My Site ->Settings ->General, or to My Site ->Appearance ->Customize ->Site Identity.

  Changing the address as explained above will not change the site title as well.
