I just can't find any place that will help. When I went on google looking for help, I was given a quote, but I couldn't figure out whether the quote was in dollars or Euro or what. And, there was no place for a follow-on question to ask. Any ideas?

Well, I don't believe that's possible.

Do you have a test blog? I suggest you actually try what you are suggesting because learning by doing eliminates all vagueness. Please go ahead and transfer a XUZ.wordpress.com blog to another username account. Then import content, which has already been indexed under ABC.wordpress.com URLs and already appears in the Google SERPs unbder ABC.wordpress.com URLs, into the transferred blog with XYZ.wordpress.com URLs and see what happens.

Or transferring ownership to another blog?

This is a duplicate thread > http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/whats-the-best-way-for-me-to-change-my-blog-address?replies=4

There are only two ways to change your blog address that will not result in broken links and neither one is free.

1. This is how to change blog address > http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/ If you do change your blog address, permalinks to your old address, including search engine results, will be broken unless you purchase a Site Redirect upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

2. domain mapping > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/

I've seen this article http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/ but this other article http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/ seems to imply that there might be other options as well. From what I understand, I think I can make a new blog and then either export my old blog and import all the files into the new one, or transfer ownership to the new blog.

Is this correct?

Will the old permalinks be broken if I export/import or transfer ownership?

I've seen that article, but don't fully understand the permalinks with regard to search engine results - will the old posts eventually be re-indexed by search engines? I guess I just don't understand how it's any different from when those posts were first created.

I would like to change my blog address with minimum hassle and without having to pay anything extra. I don't want any permalinks to the site broken, however, so I don't think I should simply change the address.

There is no free way to do this. This is how to change blog address > http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

I'm aware of three options: Transferring my blog, exporting my blog and then importing it to to a new blog, or changing the address.

I don't want any permalinks to the site broken, however, so I don't think I should simply change the address.

Any comments or recommendations?

Thanks!
