Here’s my first post…one that I thought I’d make about an hour ago, until I made a mistake when signing up for the username mattrsullivan.
I tried to be cautious and simply start with reserving a username, so I chose the “Just a User Name” option when signing up this morning!
The wrong option for free blogging
Feeling all warm & fuzzy, I soon realized that I wasn’t ready to self-host since I really wanted to just get used to the concept and am not yet ready to monetize & take advantage of the SEO and other perks that come with self-hosting.
Though a million links on Google exist to migrate from WP.com to WP.org, I couldn’t find anything about how to change a reserved wordpress username back into a wordpress.com free hosting account!
Well, at least I got the username registered for when self-hosting makes sense.
If anyone knows how to migrate an account back to wordpress.com, please post so others can adjust accounts instead of registering new ones!
Use really simplified words, as those finding this link via search will have (as I did) very little experience with the wordpress.com interface!
