    Thanks so much for help thus far, and yes I did find the style.css file ??

    I looked through it and found this section, and wondered if this is where I need to add what you suggested? If so, where should I add it?
    I am new to this as you must be able to tell.

    /* =Header
    ————————————————————– */

    #header {
    padding: 30px 0 0 0;
    }
    #site-title {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 0 18px 0;
    width: 700px;
    font-size: 30px;
    line-height: 36px;
    }
    #site-title a {
    color: #000;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-decoration: none;
    }
    #site-description {
    clear: right;
    float: right;
    font-style: italic;
    margin: 14px 0 18px 0;
    width: 220px;
    }

    I found some stuff that mentioned ‘header’ in the header.php file.
    Pasting it below and perhaps you could tell me where I need to insert this new code?
    Thanks a bunch:

    <?php
    /**
    * The Header for our theme.
    *
    * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id=”main”>
    *
    * @package WordPress
    * @subpackage Twenty_Ten
    * @since Twenty Ten 1.0
    */
    ?><!DOCTYPE html>
    <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
    <head>
    <meta charset=”<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ ); ?>” />
    <title><?php
    /*
    * Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed.
    * We filter the output of wp_title() a bit — see
    * twentyten_filter_wp_title() in functions.php.
    */
    wp_title( ‘|’, true, ‘right’ );

    ?></title>

    wp_head();

    There’s no word ‘header’ in either of these css files.

    how do I identify the ‘header title section’ in the css? Where is it? The theme has two css files:

    editor-style.rtl.css
    editor-style.css

    Thanks.

    I did this (using twenty ten) and whilst I noticed that the actual site text changed…..when I search for my site in Google, it still shows in the results “just another wordpress site”.
    How do I get rid of this for good?
    What is the point of changing it in the actual page if it continues to show up in searches…..I want readers to be interested in reading my site because of the site description….and if it says “just another wordpress site” then who will bother clicking?

    HELP!

    Anyone?

    Thread Starter Globespy

    (@globespy)

    Just to be more specific…..

    I don’t want to ‘move’ my wordpress blog to anywhere else. I intend to keep everything hosted on my home server. I simply want to change the domain address (URL) of the site to my purchased domain name.
    I know that I can have godaddy point my purchased domain to my home server, however it’s the root of the server – basically the HP WHS login page for remote access.
    I want the domain to point to the wordpress blog that is hosted on my server, somehow bypassing the other stuff. Not sure if this is possible, or if it presents security implications for the rest of my data (non wordpress related) stored on my home server?

    Hopefully someone can help, coz I am STUCK.
    I don’t want to have godaddy host my blog as ultimately I want to retain full control as the site grows as part of a new business I am launching.

    esmi – thanks for the link, it’s the same link that I used to regain access to wordpress after I changed the URL in the settings (as I mentioned).

    If I simply change the URL of wordpress again, then I end up with the same issue as I just fixed.
    Do you have any ideas of how to resolve my real question?
