Post in How to Change the Site Name

May 05 22:27 UTC

A site administrator has asked me: "How do I change the site name?"

When you first start a site, the site title is set to "[Your Name]'s
Site", where [Your Name] is the name you entered when you registered.
You can change the site title to anything you like, as long as it
complies with our Acceptable Use Policy.

Change your site title as follows.

   1: Log in to your site, using the account that you
      used to create the site (as this account has "site
      administrator" status).

   2: Navigate to the home page of your site.

   3: Click "customize site", then "Change the name
      of the site".

   4: Enter a new site name and click "change".

While you are in the site administration area, you'll see that you can
also make the following changes to your site.

   * Set the Timezone (this will determine the timezone
     for all dates displayed on the site, for non-logged-in
     visitors, and sets the timezone for all users who register
     to join groups on that site).

   * Create a Site Introduction (this enables you to add
     headings, paragraphs, lists, links and images to the
     home page of your site).

Here is an example of a site with a custom title, timezone and site
introduction.

And here are a couple of by-the-ways.

   * You can not change the subdomain of your site,
     but with a Premium Site, you can add a custom
     domain.

   * You can change your name, as it appears on your site,
     by navigating to your profile, and clicking "Edit Profile".
