  I want to change the name of my blog AND keep all the current posts and links. Simplest way to do that please? Happy to pay, if I have to.

  Hi @jjmgaunt,

  You can change the name of your blog on dashboard menu – setting – general.
  https://wordpress.com/settings/general/yourdomain

  or you can change it on theme customized
  https://wordpress.com/customize/yourdomain

  Good Luck :)

  I’m pretty sure that the question is about changing the URL of the site.

  jjmgaunt,

  The easy answer is to follow the instructions here:

  https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/

  However, before you do that, I want to clarify what you mean by “AND keep all the current posts and links.”

  Your posts won’t go anywhere with a site address change. They will just have a different URL. But if you are looking to have the old address URLs redirect to the new address URLs, then that requires a different action and an upgrade purchase.

  And finally, do you want to change to another ______.wordpress.com URL? Or are you looking to use a custom URL (such as yourgroovysite.com)?

  Sorry, I will be more careful to understand the question.
