  Hi! I’m considering a name change, but I’m not moving to a self-hosted .org site. I just want a new wordpress.com site, and I want to use exactly the same template. Can anyone explain to me whether this process would be more or less of a challenge as far as exporting media, exporting old stats info, etc.? Thanks!

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

  You cannot edit any URL but you can change the blog address ie. the URL starting with http://. You must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so then you can change the URL by using this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/ Look closely at the image to find the correct My Blogs location

  Note that both changing a URL or deleting a URL are permanent and irreversible actions.

  P.S. What I just posted above means you content stays exactly where it is. Only the URLs change; nothing else changes.
