Changing my blog address

    Hello!
    I started a new blog but I want to change the address. I figured out how to do it but I am slightly hesitant because I am not sure if changing the address will delete the content I already have under the old one. I have the free version right now and will still continue to be free, just different address.
    I want to verify if by changing my address everything (content) will still remain the same and displayed under the new one? I do not want to match a username. Any help?

    re: changing a .wordpress.com address
    We cannot edit any blog URLs. If you want to change the .wordpress.com blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then 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 the guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/ Then all the content will be the same only the URLs will change and nothing else.

    Be sure to locate the correct page and proceed with caution http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/dashboard-e1371648470893.png

    Changing a URL is meant to be a permanent and irreversible act. No changed or deleted blog URLs are recycled here, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago
