You can change your blog address using the steps at the link below:

If you only want to change the site title, you can do that also:

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.

Can I retitle it and change its domain name - or do I have to start over again? Also, would changing the domain name result in me losing my backlinks?

Thanks,

James
