Trying to change my domain name
-
I’m trying to change my domain name, but it only seems to let me register a new one which I have to pay for. I was hoping I could just edit my current domain and it keep it at wordpress.com.
Any assistance would be appreciated!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You do not need to purchase a custom domain if all your want to chnage is the.wordpress.com URL. If you want to change the blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so then you can change the URL by using this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

Thank you!! If I do choose to change the domain, is everything automatically directed to the new site? Or would I have to pay for the domain and the site redirect yearly fee as well?
