  Hi! I have bought a webbdomain called femmeative.se, and it leads to my wordpressblogg wildmarksbolaget.wordpress.com. I have changed the name on my blog to Active Femme. But still the URL of the blogg that shows is:
  https://wildmarksbolaget.wordpress.com/
  Can I shange this to https://activefemme.wordpress.com/ Witout starting a new, or export my old blog?

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

  Hi there.

  I see https://activefemme.wordpress.com/ is already registered, so you won’t be able to change your current address to it. If it wasn’t you who registered it, you can try contacting the owner and ask them to transfer it to you.

  If it was you who registered it, you’ll need to manually transfer all your content from the old address to that one. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/

  GoDaddy shows the domain http://www.femmeative.se/ as available, so you do not appear to have registered it yet. If you want to use that domain with your WordPress.com blog you’ll first need to register it and then map it to your WordPress.com site.

  If you decide to use this custom domain with your WordPress.com site, you don’t actually need to move the content, as the custom domain will “replace” https://wildmarksbolaget.wordpress.com/ as your blog’s address the moment you map it.
