  Hi,

  I run a wrestling blog site on WordPress.com and I was wondering if it was possible to change my URL. My current URL is http://www.luchalucyblog.wordpress.com. I’d like to change it to just luchalucy.wordpress.com.

  Thank you in advance for you time.

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

  Thank you. I have a small follow up question, if I may.

  I hope to register a domain for my site in a couple of months, are ‘mapping’ and ‘site redirect’ the same thing?

  The two are actually opposites.

  Mapping will direct a domain that you own to your WordPress.com blog.

  Site Redirect will direct your WordPress.com blog to a site elsewhere.
