  How do I edit the domain name that I registered with? I don’t want an upgrade now. I just want to revise the name in my primary domain.

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

  Hello there,
  URL names can’t be changed once they are created. An option is to create another blog on your existing account, then export everything into your new blog:

  Export Your Website’s Content

  I hope this helps. Good luck!

  You cannot edit any URL. If you want to change the 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 this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  You’re welcome. Perhaps some types of threads to steer clear of answering and leave for the experienced Volunteers are domain mapping issues and any $ money related issues and URL change issues.
