  I want to upgrade redbackpack.wordpress.com to myredbackpack.com. Easy enough. I do not want to have to recreate my entire blog at the new address. How do I avoid this?
  Blog url: http://redbackpack.wordpress.com/

  Hi there,

  It appears that your domain, http://myredbackpack.com, is correctly mapped to your blog at http://myredbackpack.wordpress.com

  Please note that it may take up to 72 hours for domain changes to take full effect — although usually it’ll work in just a few hours.
