Your instructions for changing the URL said to do that first and then the site re-direct, but now we are having trouble getting it to work.

We have already changed the URL from boydbrainmusic.wordpress.com to worshipsounds.wordpress.com and were tryint to purchase the site re-direct. We want the traffic from the boydbrain address to go to the new address.
Blog url: http://worshipsounds.wordpress.com/

Per the warnings, deleted blogs cannot be re-used or restored, so you won't be able to add a Site Redirect upgrade for this.

http://www.nightclubsecurityconsulting.wordpress.com (new)

Went to Site Redirect but it is only showing this option:

"Have you decided to take your WordPress.com site and host it yourself? Have you recently changed your blog address? If you don't want to lose the traffic to your
nightclubsecurityconsulting.wordpress.com
address, the Site Redirect upgrade will forward all traffic to your new location.

To begin your Site Redirect upgrade purchase, enter the URL below to which you want your
nightclubsecurityconsulting.wordpress.com
blog traffic to redirect."

Does this mean that my OLD address has been deleted?

So confused....

Did you purchase a site redirect upgrade?

7. The final option presented on this screen allows you to discard your current address. This option will permanently disable the address and you will not be able to reuse it. Only select this option if you are sure you will not use the address again. If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade.

Then attempted redirect procedure and was told "You cannot redirect a URL to itself."

How do I redirect from my old blog wordpress.com address to the new?
