  To clarify, I want to change the actual Primary address of my site. I no longer want my site to be name virtuallyyours.

  Hi there,

  Are you speaking of http://www.virtuallyyoursblog.com/?

  That site is not hosted on WordPress.com, and your domain is not registered with us.

  To change that site address, you’ll first need to register (and pay for) a completely new domain. You can do this directly at your hosting provider, or at another domain registrar.

  Next you will need to follow your hosting provider’s process for connecting the new domain to your hosting account with them. Please contact support at your hosting provider directly for help with this.

  After you’ve changed the domain, go to the Jetpack section in your site dashboard. Disconnect Jetpack from your WordPress.com account, then reconnect it, and that will update the domain under which the site is linked through that plugin.
