  Hi, I incorrectly named my free wordpress site christinemooresoprano.wordpress.com instead of christinemoorevoicelessons.wordpress.com. Aside from recreating it in a new free domain, is there a way to transfer what I have done to the new domain? thanks in advance.

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

  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/

  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.

  Use http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/ to do that.
