same wordpress address as another blog

    I was trying to see how my blog looked to a stranger because I’m updating, cleaning, and struggling through the organization aspects (I’m apparently an idiot with this stuff), but when I typed in my wordpress address coloroutsidethelines.wordpress.com I get a completely different blog. One that I don’t want to be associated with necessarily. I’m creating a beauty blog and this other blog literally begins with ‘This is basically an emo rant…’, not exactly what I want my readers to see when they look for a review of my favorite foundation for ethnic skin or how to do DIY makeup for their wedding. Anyway, how is it possible to have 2 blogs at one wordpress site that are completely unrelated? How can I actually get to my blog, since now I end up at this emo rant one every time? And if I need to change my blog address, how do I do that? I tried doing it in settings and it doesn’t work.

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

    Good morning,
    Taking a closer look, it appears that your URL has an extra ‘t’ in the username. Check it out:
    colorouts

      t

    idethelines.wordpress.com.

    A suggestion–I would change your blog URL to either one of the following, which are not owned by another member yet:
    https://coloroutsidetheline.wordpress.com
    https://colouroutsidethelines.wordpress.com (this is the British spelling!)

    To change the name of your URL, follow the steps below:

    1. Once you log on to wordpress.com, click on ‘My Sites’.

    2. On the left-hand toolbar, scroll down to “Settings” and click that link.

    3. Scoll down, then click on “Change Site Address”.

    4. Click the green box that says “Primary Domain”

    5. Click “Edit Site Address”

    6. A window will pop up–hover your mouse over the thatsassymomdotcom.wordpress.com domain. “Change Blog Address” will appear. Click that link.

    7. Enter your new website address and confirm!

    I hope that helps. =)

    Ack, I didn’t mean to make the ‘t’ that obvious! I was just trying to underline it and overline it so you could see it more easily, a trick I use with the middle-schoolers I teach. I apologize!
