How can I change a domain name?
Hi WordPress
Is there anyway I can change the current web address from http://allanrufusjourney.wordpress.com to allanrufustravelogue.wordpress.com, which I will upgrade to allanrufustravelogue.com.
Thanks
Allan
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Since you have no content, no traffic etc. just register a new blog
Dashboard >> My Blogs >> Register New Blog
You have a Page of two – not much to add that – or Export from the old site and import to the new site
Dashboard >> Tools >> Export – then Import in the new blog – remember to check a box when import to being images
then set the old site to private and use it for test & learning and as a spare if you want that name again

I think I may have a similar problem. I had a blog in the past, but decided to remove it. My new blog still seemed to be attached to the old blog name, which I didn’t want. I’m afraid that in trying to wipe the other name and address, and replace it with a new one, I’ve deleted myself altogether. Please can someone advise me?

You be welcome
There is a change name feature – but the number of people that use that feature then come back and want their old deleted name back is very large – so that is why I suggested the slightly longer way that keeps the old domain name around – nothing gets deleted

@auxclass,
The “change name” feature now includes the option to keep the old blog address, see step 7 in the support page. -
Yes but people seem to skip that step for some reason – others have claimed to have picked the correct box to save the address but it was not saved – so I have been giving the instructions – while maybe a bit longer don’t have any delete anything option
