  I don’t have a custom domain, but simply want to change my address from beccatherese.wordpress.com to a new .wordpress.com domain. I can’t seem to find the answer to this and don’t know how to change my domain. Please help!

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

  You can change your blog address, by going to Dashboard -> My Blogs and under the URL ‘change url’. Pay close attention to one of the final steps, which asks if you want to permanently delete your old URL, which means nobody, even you, will be able to use it again.

  Alternatively you can just add a new blog with the URL you want, and import everything from your current blog, and then make the old blog private. This eliminates the possibility you will want to change back, and finding you won’t be able to.
