  Hello, I am not exactly new at this game but I am when it comes to free blogs. I signed up with Google to get a Google Feed and also to add my site to them. After doing so they said my site is listed as http://aroundindiana.wordpress.com and if I wanted to get full reports I would need to verify that address. (in addition to http://www.aroundindiana.wordpress.com.)

  I get my blog by inserting just www….. My question is why didn’t wordpress give me the full address of http://www……? Does anyone know how to verify the other address with them, they are not allowing me to do so it seems, they just tell me I need to.

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

  No wordpress.com blog will have a www. The www is replaced with “aroundindiana” in this case. Also, virtually no one is using the WWW anymore. It sort of went out with the 90’s.

  Hmmm…I have been looking at wordpress.com blogs and I see what you mean. Other sites I still see the www. I will just have to figure out how to change it with google or get another account.Thanks for your reply.

  There is really no need. If someone types www into the browser address bar it will automatically redirect.

  You should be able to edit the URL in google reader. I’ve never used it, but I know you can with feedburner and others.
