  I have just begun a blog with a wordpress address. Considering changing to a .org or .com personalised domain. Will this redirect automatically fromt he wordpress address, or will I need to redirect people?

  If you buy a custom domain name and keep your blog hosted at WordPress.COM and use the domain mapping upgrade for your custom domain name the redirect will be automatic.

  If you change the domain name any other way see the instructions above from @TT
