  I haven’t posted anything yet, and would like to change my wordpress.com domain name, rather than start another wordpress blog…is that possible?

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

  You can change your domain name for your blog. Check out the Register a New Domain support document here.

  Let me know if you still have troubles after following the directions there.

  You don’t pay for a whatever.wordpress.com domain. It’s free.

  re: changing a .wordpress.com blog 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/

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

  Changing a URL is a permanent and irreversible act. No changed or deleted blog URLs are recycled here, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.
