  Hi there,

  What you enter as your site title should be displayed on your blog as it appears — that means you won’t be able to use HTML or HTML entities to get that effect.

  However, don’t lose hope. :) One way to get superscript in your site title is to write out the title in a text editor with the superscript, and then copy and paste that into your site title under Settings > General in your blog’s dashboard.

  For example, you can create a new post draft and use the custom characters button in the visual editor to get a superscript number 2 like this:

  This is my blog title²

  You can then copy and paste that text as your site title. Other text editors may give you even more options for writing out that superscript.

  I hope this helps!

  Hi Rachel

  Thanks for the advice. I’m trying to find a superscript 8, which isn’t on the special characters :-(. I don’t know how to go about getting it from a different text editor. How would I do that?

  Sorry, I’m a computer novice.

  Hi Chris,

  The exact steps to make other superscript characters really depends on what text editor you use. For example, Microsoft offers instructions for doing that in Word here:

  http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/make-text-subscript-or-superscript-HA102850040.aspx?CTT=1

  I’d recommend looking up the instructions in the support information for the text editor you choose. :)

  Hi Rachel

  Thanks for taking the time to give me some advice. I tried to do it with word, but once I copied it into the site title box the superscript disappeared. I’ve got another text editor, but I’m still figuring out how to use it. I’m sure I’ll figure it soon!
