  You can just make a new one and import / export xml. Search and replace all your old link to new link

  I would like to change my url

  You cannot edit any URL. If you want to change the .wordpress.com blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// to another .wordpress.com blog address, 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/
  if you change your blog address and need to redirect traffic to the new name and want have all your links smoothly redirect to the new URLs read this also please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

  If you want to purchase a domain mapping upgrade and map to a domain URL from your .wordpress.com blog then read what follows please.

  Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
  All About Domains http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

  See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  See here if you already own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
