  Incomplete URLs:
  v4u.wordpress
  brookhouse.wordpress

  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/ Then all the content will be the same only the URLs will change and nothing else.

  Be sure to locate the correct page http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/dashboard-e1371648470893.png

  Changing a URL is meant to be a permanent and irreversible act. No changed or deleted blog URLs are recycled here, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago

  Hi there,

  You are the owner of that site so I don’t know what you mean by “how to establish I am the admin”

  You can change the address of that site by following the instructions @timethief provided above:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  However, https://brookhouse.wordpress.com/ already exists and belongs to someone else, so you will not be able to use that address for your site.
