  How can I change web address without losing all my contents written until now?
  If I change address, will people who look for thepellons.wordpress.com be automatically redirected to the new address or not?

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

  Hey there!

  If I change address, will people who look for thepellons.wordpress.com be automatically redirected to the new address or not?

  This depends. Are you hoping to change your address to a custom domain? Something like thepellons.com, for instance? If so, anyone who visits thepellons.wordpress.com will be taken to that address automatically.

  Here is more information about that process:

  On the other hand, if you are hoping to change your WordPress.com site name from thepellons.wordpress.com to something like newpellons.wordpress.com, this won’t work in the same manner. If you don’t want to lose your followers due to this type of site name change, you’ll need to purchase a site redirect from the old domain name to the new one.

  Here is information about this type of change:

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
