  I made a typo in the URL when I first began the website. How do I either redirect or correct the URL?

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

  There is no way to “correct” a spelling error in a URL. I suggest you register another blog and make the original blog private or you purchase a domain
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Deleted blog URLs here are not recycled.

  You can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain vis a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
