  The Edit Posts Screen is where you will go to ensure the type or content of any post is correct. Hovering over any of your posts title will display an ‘Edit’ option, which will allow you to edit the type or content of a post.

  You can change the default timezone by going to Settings->General, from your Dashboard. Here is a link to help you identify the timezone settings in your blog: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/general-settings/#timezone

  To change the default address of your blog ( ccvanaro.wordpress.com ), you can register a new domain through WordPress.com or map an existing domain that you already own. This link has great information about domains: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Please let me know if you have questions or if anything is unclear.

  This is the relevant answer to set your correct time zone:

  The other links above do not apply to your question. (!)

  Why do you want to change your URL?

  Regarding changing your blog address to a different WordPress.com URL, my suggestion is to keep it simple. Start a second blog and change the Privacy settings on the first one to Private. You can using it for testing. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/#adding-new-blog-to-an-existing-account

  The way to change the blog address that johndcoy mentioned in his second reply, we volunteers have found that people do not fully understand the consequences of the procedure and do not realize that it is irreversible once done.
