  I’ve recently had a comment from another blogger:
  Your link is not working so when I click on your name, I am not directed to your blog. I would speak to WordPress because that will be stopping you from reaching views.
  I typed your blog name on google and landed up on your twitter which linked me to your blog.
  Can someone please help?

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

  Hi there,

  Where is the link that they are referring to? When I searched for “lifeofamissfit” in Google, your WordPress.com site was the first search result.

  Yes. When I click on your name, it tries to go to http://www.lifeofamissfit.com. Similarly, when I click on your name here in the forum, I am sent to the same web address.

  Check Profile Links in your profile and make sure the correct sites appear in your profile.

  Yep profile links are all fine and normal…. when you click on my name, does it actually take you to my site then or does it try and fail?

  When I click on your name here in the forum, I am taken to http://www.lifeofamissfit.com/ which I assume does not exist due to the Server Not Found error.

  Perhaps you want lifeofamissfit.wordpress.com to appear in your Profile Links instead of lifeofamissfit.com?

  But that’s what’s confusing me because it says lifeofamissfit.wordpress.com in my profile links and not lifeofamissfit.com …..

  I see. I don’t have access to your account so this requires the attention of staff.

  I have added the tag modlook to this thread to alert staff to assist you. Someone will assist you as soon as they are available.

  All the best!

  Hi lifeofamissfit,

  lifeofamissfit.com is listed under Web Address on your Account Settings page. If you replace that with lifeofamissfit.wordpress.com, your name should then link through to that site instead.

  Let me know if that helps.

  Hi lifeofamissfit,

  I’ve double checked and the new address has been saved in your Account Settings :) Any new/future comments you make should link through to lifeofamissfit.wordpress.com, but past comments won’t be updated.
