  Hi there, when I first signed up I put my URL as rhiannonbevan.wordpress.com but have decided to change it. I have gone into my account settings and changed it to socialstatus.wordpress.com and saved it. When I type in that url it doesnt work but when I type in the old one it works. I doubled checked my account settings and it under web url it says the new ‘socialstatus’ one? Can anyone help?

  socialstatus.wordpress.com is no longer available.

  The authors have deleted this site.

  Somebody deleted the URL – once a name is deleted it is never recycled here. You will need to pick another name

  Is this your blog and your content or not?
  http://thesocialstatus.wordpress.com/

  Yeah sorry, I just figured out how to do it. Apparently it doesn’t work if you just change the url in your account settings, you have to go via the dashboard.
