  Hi. I want to change my blog URL from http://www.stilettosandtequila.wordpress.com to http://www.thestilettosaurus.wordpress.com. From what I read and understood, I need to purchase Site Redirection to fix all the broken links, transfer traffic and alert Google. I was wondering if there was maybe some kind of a free service that allows me to change my URL and redirect my traffic for free? I need urgent help, please.

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

  Hello,
  So you can go to My Blogs in your dashboard. You will then see your current blogs, You will want to hover over your blog that you are wanting to change. Two links will appear, 1) Change Blog Address 2)Transfer Blog.
  You will want to click on Change Blog Address.

  Here’s a link for more information on changing your blog address: http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Technically, staff say all your links are redirected automatically. In practice we see a lot of people complaining that this isn’t the case. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/changing-from-one-wordpresscom-domain-to-another?replies=2

  You absolutely do NOT need to purchase a redirect upgrade.
