  I want to create a new site but integrate my blog. Can I migrate the blog to my new site, or change the domain of the of the blog? I’d also like to change my username.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can export the content of your current site and move it to a new site with these two steps:

  1. Log into the old blog, go to Tools → Export, and download the XML (WXR) file to your computer.

  2. In the new blog, go to Tools → Import → WordPress, and upload the file you downloaded in step 1.

  If you would like to change your WordPress.com site URL, there are options and instructions for doing so here:

  Please bear in mind that once changed, that site’s original WordPress.com URL will become permanently unavailable for future use. If you feel that you might need that URL again in the future, you might want to start a new site rather than changing the URL.

  You can find instructions for changing your username here:
