  Hi, I was wondering is it possible to change the domain of the current blog but to still be wordpress.com? For example from twistedsistersdesign.wordpress.com to sistersintwist.wordpress.com? We have to change our name, but would love to stay with the same blog and followers? Would be great if this is possible so we don’t have to make a new blog and start from scratch. Thanks! :)

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

  Go to my blogs in your blog’s dashboard, (that would be twistedsistersdesign.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs), and under the address of your blog, you can see the change blog address.

  If you couldn’t understand me, you should visit this support page – http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Just realize that there’s no going back. Usually the first blog is deleted in the process and you can’t use that URL again. This is why I recommend just registering the new blog, importing your content into it, and leaving a notice at the old blog that this is where your content has gone. People change their minds all the time, and they really don’t believe it’s permanent when it is.
