  There’s a big ol’ link up there at the top of the page to “Themes”. Is that what you’re looking for?

  You can change your site title under Settings ->General in the dashboard.

  Instructions for changing your site address (URL) can be found here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Please make sure you read the support doc and all instructions and warnings carefully as this process cannot be reversed.

  As @yarnaholic has indicated, you can find all available themes here: http://wordpress.com/themes/ Note that these themes can only be used with WordPress.com sites. You cannot download any themes to use with a self-hosted blog.

  @kokkieh-

  Note that these themes can only be used with WordPress.com sites. You cannot download any themes to use with a self-hosted blog.

  Er, actually, a goodly number of those themes *are* available for download for standalone WP. There’s a link in the theme’s showcase sidebar if it is. It’s just that the ORG version’s coded a bit differently. :)

  @justjennifer
  Of course, you’re right. I was thinking along the lines that it’s a different version of the theme. I could have expressed that better :)

  Sorry I overlooked your very first question about changing the URL of your site.

  For various reasons (largely the fact that this is a permanent change and we get a lot of upset users coming through stating they didn’t realize that the old site would then become permanently unavailable by changing their site URL), if the new address you want is available, why not just register an additional site under your existing account rather than change the URL? https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/ You can then use your old site for testing purposes after making it Private in the Reading settings.
