 * Hello,
 * so I created a WordPress blog using localhost and now my blog is accessible at
   the domain localhost:8888/JADED.Then I bought a domain jjaded.com, it works, 
   but the blogs URL still remains localhost:8888/JADED. How do I change that? I
   tried everything with the help online, but NOTHING works and I can’t connect 
   to an FTP to upload my files to a new database. Please help!
 * Is there a way to change it?
