  I’ve decided that my blog really ought to have a title which reflects how a lot of the content is about screenwriting. Can I retitle it and change its domain name – or do I have to start over again? Also, would changing the domain name result in me losing my backlinks?

  Thanks,

  James

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

  Hi there,

  You can change your blog address using the steps at the link below:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  If you only want to change the site title, you can do that also:

  If you do change your blog address, permalinks to your old address, including search engine results, will be broken unless you purchase a Site Redirect upgrade.
