  Hello,

  I’ve been wanting to change my blog address (my current address is amusperspective.com) for several days now, but every time I try and do so a message comes up saying that that option is currently disabled. I was wondering when it would be back up again because I really would like to change it as soon as possible so I can start blogging.

  I bought a domain name only because it said that I could change my address later if I wanted to. Please let me know when I can do so.

  Thank you!

  Hi there,

  I’m sorry but we don’t have an exact time frame for when the option will be available again.

  In the meantime, you might try registering your new blog:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  And following these instructions to move your content to the new blog:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-between-wordpress-com-blogs

  Keep in mind that you’re not able to transfer your blog’s theme or settings — so if you really wish to transfer these, your best bet would be to leave the new address unregistered and use the renaming tool once it becomes available again.

  Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need anymore help. :-)
