  I can’t figure out how to change the blog URL, what goes in the blank: http://www._________.wordprss.com

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

  There is no “www”in any WordPress.COM URL
  and wordpress.com is not spelled this way

  .wordprss.com

  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/

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

  Changing a URL is a permanent and irreversible act. No changed or deleted blog URLs are recycled here, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  Also, you lose ALL pagerank and incoming links and followers unless you purchase the redirect upgrade, in which case you just lose all pagerank.
