  I want to change my free domain name, is there anyway to do this? I went to dashboard -store-domain name and tried entering my new one but it said I wasn’t able to do so.

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

  Are you logged in under the exact same username that registered the blog and who is the Admin of the blog? If not then you will not be able to access that setting.

  See here and read carefully please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
  That option will permanently disable the address and you will not be able to reuse it. Only select this option if you are sure you will not use the address again. If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade.
