  I am willing to change my web address and username. Can I do that? So that all my contents remain the same? And in this case, after changing, can people who know as ‘the pellons’ as now find me even if I have a new web address? I mean: if I change to xxx.wordpress.com, will people who digit thepellons.wordpress.com be redirected automatically to xxx.wordpress.com? So that I don’t lose my followers and people who read me? Thanks.

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

  Hi there,

  You can change a site address ending in wordpress.com by following the steps here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Please note that the final step in changing your site address allows you to keep or discard the old address. If you are changing your site address so that you can use your current address for a new site, please be sure to keep the old address.

  You may prefer to change the address for your site by registering a custom domain name. This takes “wordpress” out of the site address. You can register a custom domain name for your site here:https://thepellons.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  You can read more about custom domain names here:

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
