  I have a free .com WordPress site and I’d like to change the URL
  from
  https://dcom384.wordpress.com/
  to
  https://dcom311.wordpress.com/

  This is not a self-hosted site–I can’t figure out how to edit the URL I chose when I built the site.

  Thanks,
  Mary

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

  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.
