  i originally picked this name to be my blog domain as this is my company name.
  as i progressed in learning about blogging i want to broaden what i blog about and i want to cover a larger spectrum of the on goings of my life.
  so, this name does not apply to me anymore anyone know how to go about (if possible) to changing it?
  thanks

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

  You can purchase a domain name and domain mapping and then it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog name that you are domain mapping to your new domain name is.

  The whole WordPress.com is a top level domain. All blogs here are on .wordpress.com sub-domains.
  This is your blog’s URL http://headturnerboutique.wordpress.com/
  This is your blog’s name Thoughts & Things
  You can change a blog name (not URL) here at any time > Settings > General is that what you want to do?

  Or do you want to change the URL?
