  I changed my domain name so does that mean the info entered under the old domain name will not transfer over to the new one? I was under the impression that only the name would go away and the info would remain under the new name.

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

  Maybe all of the info did switch to my new domain name…I guess I have to play around with this for a minute…

  The content remains exactly where it is now. You cannot edit any URL but you can change the blog address ie. the URL starting with http://. You must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so then you can change the URL by using this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/ Look closely at the image to find the correct My Blogs location

  Note that both changing a URL or deleting a URL are permanent and irreversible actions.

  If you change your blog address and need to redirect traffic to the new name, the Site Redirect upgrade lets you do just that http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/
