  Hello, I have just set up this blog – http://reelstar.wordpress.com/ and I would like www. in the URL. Is this achieveable ? If any one could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

  Thanks,

  Gavin

  Can’t do – just the way WordPress.COM and the internet work. No www on WordPress.COM blogs.

  www is a deprecated value; current websites nowadays don’t use that anymore.

  Depr..what ever is too big a word for me to spell –

  Add the ones that show up here in PANIC mode because the www is missing. Good thing the redirect is automatic or some days 25% of the posters links would not work – don’t understand why they can’t look at the address bar and just copy that and why they need to add the www – oh well –
