  I want to change my domain. The website won’t let me add a domain. I don’t want a custom one to to pay for a new domain. I just want to change the one I have.
  Thanks!

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

  Change it to what? There could be any number of reasons you’re having problems.

  Well for example, right now, it is http://lifewithas.wordpress.com

  I would like to change the “lifewithas” part only.

  I cannot find an easy way to change that and it won’t let me add a new domain and change the primary.

  Here is the support page on how to change your domain: http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  However, I would keep in mind that once you change your current domain name, you’ll never be able to get it back. So, be sure this is what you want to do.

  Not only that but you lose all your search engine rankings and start again from zero.
