  I’ve decided to change my blog site Name/URL. I need help transferring the current blog to the new URL and I’d like to confirm I buy the URL correctly from GoDaddy.com. My current URL expires tomorrow so any help to speed the process would be great.

  Thanks
  Blog url: http://thestyleqween.wordpress.com

  If you’re referring to thestyleqween.com, registered domain names cannot be changed. In this case, I recommend just registering the domain name you want and allowing this one to expire tomorrow.

  Will my posts/comments/pages automatically go to the new domain once thestyleqween.com expires tomorrow? Or will I have to export-import the blog content and theme?

  As long as you add the domain to the same blog via Store -> Domains in your blog’s Dashboard, everything will remain as it is, but with the new domain name.
