  I want to change my url name from theechad.worpress.com to chadc.wordpress.com (if it’s not already taken).

  What I’m reading from support is IF I do this change I will have to get all my subscribers transferred to a new url name?? As in it’s like creating a whole new blog??

  Why can’t I just have a name change and keep the content and subscribers I already have??

  Also I know there’s a site redirect option that has to be paid for. That’s not an option for the time being so please don’t waste my time replying with that.

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

  You can change your WordPress.com URL at any time to one that doesn’t already exist by following the instructions here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Your content, theme and followers will be transferred to the new blog address, even if you opt to keep the old one as well.

  So if I choose a new blog address, I won’t have to redirect or transfer current subscribers??
