  My website name is not what I expected. It needs to be “pikespicks” but instead it is the name I wanted for myself as the site admin, “pikes picker”. How do I change this?

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

  If you want to change the .wordpress.com blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so, then you can change the URL by using this guide

  Be sure to locate the correct page http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/dashboard-e1371648470893.png
  Click this link http://pfbecp11.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs

  Changing a URL is a permanent and irreversible act. No changed or deleted blog URLs are recycled here, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.
