  I want to change the name. If I do that using Edit Site Address, will all my materials and edits loaded thus far (still under construction) remain the same and only the name /address of the site change? Info on the web is confusing.

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

  Site-address and site-Title are two different things. You can edit only the site title using “Edit ->site-Title“.
  If you wish to change the address,

  1. Export your current website to an xml file.
  2. Start a new blogsite with a new domain name which you desire.
  3. Import “xml file” of your earlier blog to the new blog.
  4. After you are sure about the correctness of your new website, you may delete the old blog site.

  This will not take much time.
  I hope this helps.
