Another huge thank you from me! I've managed to change the wordpress address and this hasn't affected the domain name, so all good news.

Perhaps it's just me that finds this process over-complicated, but could I suggest to the WordPress.com team that they change the process so that when registering a domain name for a new blog the underlying wordpress address is not automatically chosen but could be nominated by the domain purchaser? This would prompt the person purchasing the domain to think about their underlying wordpress address, which they'll use if they ever decide not to renew their domain name, and would prevent having to change the blog address and delete the original blog (with all the anxiety of the risk of accidentally deleting/disrupting the new domain name when deleting a blog!) at a later stage.

Let me know if I need to post this somewhere else to have it seen as a suggestion.

Thanks again,
Kate

Amazing - thanks so much for your help and for sorting this out for me - it's strange, though, as I didn't have any existing blogs with an address anything like nickyellisdotcom - I only had katetalkstravel.wordpress.com, which is entirely un-related and which I haven't touched for months.

As an additional question, and really a huge favour, is it possible to further change the wordpress address that sits under the nickyellis.org domain name? It's occurred to me, rather too late, I'm afraid, that it would be most useful to have a really usable wordpress name sitting underneath the .org domain, and if possible I would change it to nickyellisosteopath.wordpress.com, as this was the address I was going to use before realising there was a nickyellis domain name available (nickyellis.wordpress.com itself is not available). It seems that this might be possible, and so if you're able to tell me how I'd really appreciate it - this is the first time I've experimented with a domain name and it's a steep learning curve!

With many thanks, again,
Kate

You can safely delete the other blog.

I'd appreciate help with two blogs that seem to have been created when I registered a single domain name.

I have just registered nickyellis.org as a domain name, creating this as a new blog. Now in 'my blogs' there are two blogs showing with the WordPress names nickyellisdotorg.wordpress.com and nickyellisdotorg1.wordpress.com

I can see that the nickyellisdotorg1.wordpress.com address is associated with the nickyellis.org domain I've registered - does this mean I can delete the second blog that's been created - nickyellisdotorg.wordpress.com ?

Additionally, and rather irritatingly, the WordPress address associated with my new domain is the nickyellisdotorg1.wordpress.com address, which, should I choose not to renew the domain name next year, is the more complicated one to use. Is it possible to change the WordPress address sitting under my domain name?

Many thanks in advance,
Kate

Make it private for now please. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.

Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.

Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.

Try changing it at http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/ first.

If that doesn't work, try Users -> Personal Settings in your blog's Dashboard.

I have more than one blog. One is open to people I know, the other (sludgebelly) is open to all to read yet I don't want people to know it's me.

When people are on the other blog, can they see I also have sludgebelly?

It's probably a dumb Q but a search on WordPress or Google doesn't turn up the answer. I plan to move a Google+ blog I run for a social group over to WordPress, it's important to me to keep them in the dark about sludgebelly.

Many thanks in anticipation.

My focus has shifted, so I am planning to "reimagine" myself and my blog and focus on the topics that have been driving the most traffic to my site. I have already created another wordpress blog (www.fabricalchemist.wordpress.com) where I want to continue.

After looking through the forums, it looks like using the Site Redirect upgrade for http://pnwduckpond.com is my best option. I just had a couple questions about what to expect from that process.

So this moves all of my content, subscribers, to the new blog (Fabric Alchemist), so going forward I would enter the Fabric Alchemist dashboard to create new content?

Do I need to do anything other than purchase the site redirect upgrade?

My big final question is:
The site redirect appears to be an annual renewal cost, if after a year I have trained enough people to visit Fabric Alchemist rather than PNW DuckPond, can I delete the old blog address and cancel site redirect? Or will this remove content from Fabric Alchemist?

Thanks.
