  The name of the organisation has now changed and I want the website address to reflect that. If I were to change the website address, will old posts using the old website address still be accessible? Thank you.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,
  
  All the current posts and pages on the site will redirect to the new website address. So, for example, http://oldsite.com/contact will switch to http://newsite.com/contact
