I have had my blog for a little over a year now, and I am going to change my blog name and url from the untz and the emo to the untz and the indie. I am going to purchase the domain, but I am wondering how to set up the change in my wp account and seamlessly redirect to the new url. I also want to be sure that none of my data or old posts are impacted. Any insight would be appreciated
The blog I need help with is theuntzandtheemo.com.
See here please for purchasing a domain name and an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade and be sure to follow all the steps very carefully.

Thanks timethief! I am getting stuck with:
1. Update your domain’s name servers to the following. Make sure to remove any existing name servers that are already there.that are already there.
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
You can usually change your domain’s name servers at your registrar’s website, but the process is different for each domain registrar..."
- if I bought my doman, theuntzandtheindie.com, via wordpress, then do I need to do this? If so where?
You are looking at the wrong instructions.
