  Is it possible to change my subdomain? For example, my blog (ndmpmesritz.wordpress.com) should really be ndm.wordpress.com or ndmtips.wordpress.com or something similar — I didn’t realize that my username was going to be my subdomain initially.

  Any suggestions that you may have on how to change this would be greatly appreciated. I didn’t see any suggestions in the past 10+ pages or with a search.

  Thanks,
  Philippe

  Unfortunately there isn’t a way to just *change* your subdomain.

  If you’re logged in then go to the homepage (wordpress.com) and you can get a second blog with the title that you really want. The downside is that you’ll have to move any posts you want on the new blog manually. There’s no way of doing it automatically.

  You can export your blog posts as RSS, (we discuss this method here) use the RSS2MT script to change the format over to MT and import that back into your new blog. Do a search for RSS2MT. There’s been a few writeups on this method in the past.

  Good luck,

  Of course now that I said it, it appears that RSS2MT isn’t working the way it was in the past. Lots of fun.
