  I have two blogs:
  joycelindemulder.wordpress.com and
  jojohaligo.wordpress.com

  Is there any way to swap the names of the two blogs? In other words, the blog that is now joycelindemulder becomes jojohaligo and the blog that is jojohaligo becomes joycelindemulder.

  Thanks in advance.

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

  No.There is no way to “swap” a URL and if you delete a URL it cannot be recycled. What you can do is export and import content.

  That is what I figured, but thought I would double check just in case.

  Thanks for your help!

  Thanks for that too – the comments and your follow up responses are also helpful. Thankfully, my blogs are not that popular – yet.
