  I want to change my blog address to a new one, still in .wordpress.com but I am afraid that the posts might be lost.

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

  All you need to do is to go to your dashboard for the blog with the posts you want to transfer, scroll down til you see ‘tools’ on the left side and click on that. Choose ‘export’ and follow the instructions. That will allow you to save file that is a copy of all your posts and pages, etc, to your own computer. Then when your new blog is ready, go back to Tools, click on ‘import’ and import the file into the new blog.
