  Hello!

  If you are transferring a blog w/ a domain to another WordPress.com user you would need go to My Blogs Page, Mouse over the blog, and select Transfer Blog and follow the instructions. You would need to know the email or username of the person you are transferring the blog to.

  WordPress has a guide here

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  Note: The guide states you will be contacted by a WordPress Customer Service agent. Most likely to confirm the action.

  If you are not transferring the blog to another WordPress.com user, WordPress has a couple guides here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/

  Do you know if you are transferring it to another WordPress.com user?

  Hey thanks for reply back. I’m not transferring it to another user. I basically have two blogs. I want to keep blog A but want to use blog B’s name. So question is how can I transfer Blog B’s name to Blog A?

  I think your best bet it is the old switcheroo…of the content NOT the domain addresses.

  Export Blog A’s content.
  Export Blog B’s content.

  Import Blog A’s content into Blog B.
  Import Blog B’s content into Blog A.

  Thus, Blog A becomes Blog B by default ( you moved content from A INTO B)
  and
  Blog B becomes Blog A (you moved content from B INTO A).

  WordPress has a guide for importing and exporting content:

  Importing: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  Exporting: https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

  Thoughts?

  If I exported Blog A to Blog B does it take the people that have subscribed to it as well? Blog A has more subscribers than Blog B!

  Thank you for your help btw!
