   Hi last friday I spoke to godaddy who host my blog site and changed my address from http://www.sallyslackblog/wordpress.com to http://www.sallyslackblog.com. Godaddy assured us that doing this was very simple and wouldn't create any issues. Since doing this it's been a nightmare and my admin platform no longer seems to speak to wordpress, my site stats are down, the mast header slideshow doesn't work and the sliding sidebar widgets don't work either, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

   I assume your URL is NOT
   http://www.sallyslackblog/wordpress.com

   rather
   http://www.sallyslackblog.com/wordpress

   is that correct?

   my url is now: http://sallyslackblog.com/
   but it used to have "wordpress" in there somewhere. Since loosing the wordpress I have had major issues. Go Daddy are suggesting that i rebuild!

   No need for a rebuild
   You can put the blog address back to how it was using one of the methods on this page
   -> http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

   and then change it to how you want it by following the instructions here
