Set up but didn't use a blog. Want to change domain name and start new.
-
I set up a blog years ago and never used it. I don’t believe I paid for it. I have nothing under accounts. I deleted that site and typed in new site information. My first domain name appears in some site features and some of the new information shows up at other times. I can type all my new stuff in but I want the new domain name if I can keep it. can you help me? is this considered changing to another site? or host?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi kkreitler,
Are you wanting to change thethrivingsurvivorcom.wordpress.com to something else? Am I understanding that correctly?
If you want to change thethrivingsurvivorcom.wordpress.com to newblogname.wordpress.com, you can find the instructions to do so within this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/.
You can also create a custom domain. Meaning you can remove the wordpress.com portion of the URL to have something like thethrivingsurvior.com instead of thethrivingsurvivorcom.wordpress.com. The custom domain option will require you have a Personal plan or higher. You can read more about plans and pricing here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/.
Please note that once you change a domain name, it cannot be reused.
With regards to “starting new”, you have two options. You can either empty your site which involves deleting all your content while keeping your URL. You can also create a new blog or website. The links provided include instructions on how to do so.
If you have any further questions, please let us know!

No, I’m wanting to remove the kkreitler. I want to put the title thethrivingsurvivor as the replacement. THANK YOU!!

I did delete everything from the kkreitler site. It said it will take 7 days to be removed. I’m not sure what is going on… sometimes it comes up kkreitler and other times thethrivingsurvivor. I’m not against joining at the lowest level…will this help me?

Hi @kkreitler,
I think you might be trying to change your display name or username. You display name is what shows up when you make posts or comments, and the username is what you use to login to WordPress.com. Directions for changing both can be found at the following link:
Is that what you are looking to change? If not, feel free to follow up and we’ll be happy to assist you further.
