  changing a blog address

  If the .wordpress.com blog address you want is available, you can change it by using these instructions, > changing a blog address > http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Read this very carefully:

  7. The final option presented on this screen allows you to discard your current address. This option will permanently disable the address and you will not be able to reuse it. Only select this option if you are sure you will not use the address again. If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled.

  The easiest way is just to go to Manage My Blogs, scroll down, and click New Blog and create the new blog. Set the old one to Private and export the contents, import to the new blog, and away you go. That way nothing’s deleted and you have a blog you can use to test new themes and widgets.
