  When I post a link to my website on any social networks, it still shows the old name even after I’ve updated the “Site Name” in my settings.

  Thanks for any help!

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

  I tried posting your blog on my Facebook profile and saw it showed the wrong blog name. You can try clearing your Facebook cache and see if that fixes it. http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug I don’t know about other social networks, though.

  Which site name was it showing?

  When I pasted your URL on Facebook it showed “All about relationships” instead of “The Business of Relationships” as it’s displayed on your blog.

  Hmmm…troubling. That’s what I’m trying to fix. I ran that debugger you pasted and it seemed to show the right name in the preview but we’ll see. It still shows up on the “My Blogs” section as “It’s All About Relationships” also

  How long ago did you change it? It could be that the cache at WordPress.com needs to update and that could take a few hours. The same thing happens when you change your blavatar or gravatar image.

  The data for the “My Blogs” section is cached and can take a couple of days to up-date.
