  Instructions in this support doc: http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Please make sure you read the support doc and all instructions and warnings carefully as this process cannot be reversed.

  When prompted whether you’d like to keep the old URL or delete it, consider keeping it as deleted URLs can never be recovered: http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Rather, set the old address to private, and then you can either use it as a test blog to try out new themes and widgets, etc., or you can use it as a backup to your regular blog by periodically importing content to it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
