  Hey, there – I have a question about bringing 2 of my websites back to being hosted by wordpress.com. I was looking here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/add-a-domain/ for the options doing that but I’m a bit confused.

  What I want is to

  1. bring my site: http://www.shortweird.com (and it’s current up to date content) back from self-hosting on my provider (Netfirms.com) and host it back on wordpress.com, and

  2. I want the wordpress-hosted version of it to show shortweird.com in the browser, NOT shortweird.wordpress.com, what should I do?

  Basically I’m trying to make sure I’m not doing anything redundant, and also doing this as cost-effectively as possible. No sense paying for hosting somewhere for the same site TWICE if I can help it.

  Can you help out?
