  I’m reposting this query because my email was down for a week and I may have missed your reply.

  I would like to change the blog address to “Tales from Wild Wales” without losing the content. Is this possible, and if so, how?

  Thanks

  jerry

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

  Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same. The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General by the logged in Admin with the Username account who registered the blog.

  That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed.

  You cannot edit any URL. If you want to change the blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so then you can change the URL by using this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
