How do I redirect links from blog that I recently changed the name of?

    How do I redirect links from old blog name to new one? I recently changed the name of my current blog from upcyledantiquesblog.wordpress.com to rusticchicinteriors.com. Now, all of my old links in cyber world are still pointing to the old name and I need them to redirect to the current. I tried going into the “store” on my dashboard and paying for the site redirect but it only gives me the option to redirect traffic from rusticchicinteriors.com to a new one, which is not what I want to do. Please help!

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

    To redirect the traffic from your WordPress.com blog to a new site, you will need to purchase the Site Redirect upgrade (on your old blog). You can set it up by following the instruction here:

    Redirect a WordPress.com Site Address

    Provided you have the same permalink structure on your new site and your WordPress.com blog, all of your permalinks will be redirected as well.

    Kardotim, thank you for your response. It is not allowing me to sign into my old blog as it is not really an “old” one but the current one, just with a different name. If I try to sign in with the “old” name, it redirects to RusticChicInteriors automatically. My example of a link not going where it needs to are all of Pinterest buttons. I hate thinking that everyone who has repinned anything on my “old” website cannot access those pins now because the website name changed. Example below: (this is a button sample pinned from my “old” blog. When I click on it, it SHOULD be redirected to RusticChicInteriors.com but is coming up with error page.http://www.pinterest.com/pin/383017143280971390/
