Need to change my blog address to my new website address
-
Hi! I upgraded my blog so that I could have moirefluxphotography.com as my blog address. I now have created a website that I would like to use moirefluxphotography as the address, and would like to change my blog to a different name or back to moireflux.wordpress.com, without being redirected to moirefluxphotography.com. How can I do this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

One thing you could do is to map the blog to a subdomain of your main domain such as http://blog.moirefluxphotography.com. That would open up the main domain name for other uses.

Thank you for the quick response. I read thru the tutorial and was still confused (not my area of expertise at all). I had another idea for an option that I am wondering if it would work: If I create a new blog under my existing user name and export my blog to the new one, and delete the other. I believe that I read something that said “you cannot delete a blog that has a registration upgrade” and I also read “Do not delete a blog to free the name, that does not happen.” Does this mean that I will never be able to use moirefluxphotography.com as my website address?

No it doesn’t apply to the domain name you registered, it only applies to the URL’s here at wordpress.COM. If you delete this blog, moireflux.wordpress.com , then you will never be able to get it back.
Deleting the blog that is currently connected with the domain name you purchased will cause problems. It is best to set that blog to private unless you planned on using it for something else.
After you point your domain name at the new host, your existing blog will be back to moireflux.wordpress.com so you could still use it for your blog, it just would not be connected in any way with your new website. That is one of the reasons I suggested the subdomain mapping. It would make it appear as if your blog was actually located right there with your website.

If the blogname in your blogname.wordpress.com has already been taken by someone else you cannot have it.
