Hi there,
If I understand correctly, you previously setup treadsoflife.com at WordPress.com. However, now, you’re looking to make that into a self-hosted site. Is that correct?
Let me know a bit more about what you’re looking to do, and I’ll be happy to help!

Ah! Thanks for clarifying. First, you’ll need to setup hosting for your self-hosted site. We have suggested hosting services here:
Once you get your hosting service setup, uou’ll need to follow the instructions here on setting up a self-hosted site:

That will explain how to transfer your content from your WordPress.com blog to your self-hosted site. Then, since your domain is currently registered at WordPress.com, we’ll need to point it to your self-hosted site. The best thing to do would be to transfer the domain to your hosting service so your registration and hosting are managed in the same place. However, domains cannot be transferred for 60 days from the date of purchase. In the meantime, you can change the name servers to point to your host following the instructions here:
Then, after 60 days, you can transfer your domain following the instructions here:
I know that sounds like a ton of steps! Give it a go. If you get stuck, I’m here to help!

Hi, after thumbing around with certain options you’ve listed, I cannot seem to customize the blog as I would like. So instead i’ve decided to map my domain name to an existing blogger account instead. Can you assist me in doing so? Thus far I’ve started to follow these instructions, but I am confused on step 5.
