-
I had no ideas until recently! My others are all ‘wordpress.com
WP.com: Yes
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
We offer some alternative free .blog subdomains for new sites, so it appears when you created that site, you chose one of the
*.home.blogsubdomains instead of the*.wordpress.comone.You can read more about these alternative subdomains here:
I hope that clarifies things!

I CHOSE nothing – I created a NEW blog and chose a theme that is all I did. – I have even shared the WRONG URL to people, assuming that it was the same as my other blogs. I selected a theme called penscratch, which is dreadful, the text is almost impossible to read, a small font and pale grey, neither of which can be changed. What can I do now?
-
How can I keep the blog name and move everything to a new theme that accepts an old style blog designed around words? New themes are all about pictures.

Hi!
You can choose any theme you like from https://wordpress.com/themes/. If you’re interested in something more thought for blogging, you can filter the results like so:
https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog/.
You can customize every theme to your liking too. If you need help with that, let us know precisely what you would like to achieve, and we’ll be happy to help you out.

I could use Independent Publisher 2. Can I also have the address “@ wordpress.com” as that is what people have in their book already? I need the static pages as well as posts

Hello there,
Can I also have the address “@ wordpress.com” as that is what people have in their book already?
Yes you can.
All URLs on the site would redirect to the same place, so you would not lose traffic in that sense.

You can change that by following the steps here:
https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/
Just make sure you have
.wordpress.comshow here when you fill that out:
I hope that helps!

I do not want to change the name – Itsthatwoman is my ID – and itsthatwomanallaboutdogs is the name I want to keep, I just want to change home.blog to wordress.com

Hi there, changing site address is how you do that. 🙂
Put your current site address itsthatwomanallaboutdogs in the box, make sure that .wordpress.com is showing on the right and then the “Change site address” button should become active allowing you to change your .home.blog to .wordpress.com
Let us know how that goes.

I tried, but it will not allow me to. I will try changing the theme and see what happens after that

I tried, but it will not allow me to.
Can you please describe exactly what happened when you tried to change the site address following this guide? https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/
One suggestion is to use a different browser or from a private browsing window.

copied and pasted from instructions
“Click the input field (with the first part of your current site address as a placeholder) and enter the new address you wish to use. We will let you know if the new address is available:”The input field does not allow me to change and wants me to choose a paid plan

I just changed the theme but think I made a mistake as Independent Publisher 2 does not appear to have any static pages :( The pages are still there to me, but I see no place where the public can go to read them
-
I can see why you might be getting frustrated. WordPress.com doesn’t appear to make it easy to change a site address to a .wordpress.com extension. I can’t do it either. It would be easier for you to just create an additional free site at My Sites/Switch site/Add new site. Make sure you type the full free address you require.

No doubt you need to add a menu to your site.

How to restore all the posts and pages? Too much to handle. I have to make sure I have a theme that allows static pages and posts and the ability to change and resize fonts.
-
Hello there,
I can’t see any posts or pages that have been deleted.
If something has been deleted, it could be restored from the bin.
It is also possible to restore previous revisions as per: https://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/page-post-revisions/
