  This is a very strange situation: I have a WordPress blog that I haven’t done anything with in 6 years… it is muchdeliberation.wordpress.com. Thinking I would like to start blogging again, I tried to start a new WordPress blog and so began the process using a domain name that I wanted to use… it is discipleeducation.wordpress.com. However, I have now decided that I would like to simply restart with my old page because I like its theme and can’t seem to replicate it(much deliberation), but I would like to change it to have the new domain (disciple education). Is there any way I can do that?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  Since you have already registered http://discipleeducation.wordpress.com/ , it cannot be used for your old site, muchdeliberation.wordpress.com.

  However, you can export any content that you have on the old site and import it to the new site as explained here:

  Since you like the theme on your old site, you can activate the same theme on your new site. The theme you have on the old site is the Twenty Eleven theme..

  You can activate the theme on your new site by going to:

  https://wordpress.com/theme/twentyeleven/discipleeducation.wordpress.com

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  I notice muchdeliberation.wordpress.com belongs to a different account from the one you’re using to post here.

  If you want to manage that site from your timothydcasey account, log into the account that owns the other site, and you can transfer it to this account as explained here:
