However, if you want to change a Blog Address ie. the URL starting with http:// that's different. Assuming the .WordPress.com blog address you want is available, you can change it by using these instructions, > changing a blog address > http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

Or if what you want to do is purchase your own domain and then it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com blg URL is > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/register-domain/

The new title appears on the post but the adress is still sicilyontheroad.wordpress.com instead of e-caminanta.wordpress.com as I wanted to set it.
How can I fix this? Is it possible without opening a new blog and copying everything in it?
Kind regards

My blog names under the dashboard do not update the changes made. However, when I go to dashboard, settings, I am able to change the Blog Title.

Is the blog title and blog name different, if so maybe that is why it is not updating under blog names in the dashboard.

Please help, anyone at all.

Log out of wordpress, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then look again. IE is notorious for hanging onto cached versions of files and refusing to update them when you call for a forced refresh/reload of a page. The only way to get it to actually update all the files is a cache clear and restart of the browser.

Now the 2nd blog's title has been changed. I thought maybe it didn't accept punctuation so I tried that and now the first blog's title has gone wonky again (probably due to my tinkering). I've changed the title, again on the first blog, and will see if it somehow magically changes to what I want.

To repeat what I've been seeing, try this:

1) Change the title in the Settings > General and clicking on "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.
2) Go to My Account > My Blogs and look to see what the title is (should show the old name). Click on the Address of the Blog, the title should show the new name just entered.
3) Go to the Dashboard of the blog and go to the Settings > General it will show the changes just made and if you repeat #2 (My Account > My Blogs) it should show the old name.

Maybe it is a delayed update thing.

I hope that makes sense. Kelly
