$18 upgrade to remove the .wordpress.com extension
-
i was confused by the domain mapping help I read. I want to change my inspiredearthconnection.wordpress.com to inspiredearthconnection.com without having to redo my blog . Can I do this all through WordPress for the $18 with no additional fees?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The $18 includes the domain name an a one year domain mapping upgrade. That upgrade is renewed annually. The content stays exactly where it is now. All that changes is the URL.
Domains – Important Notes Before Upgrading
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase.
After you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog from the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades.
See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
See here for mapping a sub-domain (for a domain with an existing website) to your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
