Correcting the name of an account

    I recently received email from wordpress.com with a button to push to activate my account. However, since I noticed that I had made a spelling mistake in the account name, I did not press the button. Question: Is there a way to make the correction to my account name and then activate it?

    This thread has been flagged for staff attention; they can probably sort you out.

    We do have a way to change usernames, but it is currently broken. I suspect it will be fixed sometime this week.

    Great. I will try the link macmanx provided in a day or so to give some time for it to be fixed.
