PDF Your blog address, also known as your blog URL, is what people use to access your blog. It’s what they type in the address bar of their web browser to go to your blog.
help.edublogs.org is an example of an Edublogs blog address.
There are two options for changing your blog address:
- Create a new blog, with your desired blog address, and then import the contents from your original blog into the new blog.
- Purchase a custom domain for your blog and redirect your blog address to your custom domain.
With a custom domain you keep the same blog address but when people go to your blog address it will be redirected to your custom domain. For example, go to theedublogger.edublogs.org/and you will be redirected to its custom domain theedublogger.com.
