  i created this blog http://www.circleof100buddhas.org
  and also purchased this french version http://www.cerclede100bouddhas.org. i am not sure how i can see appear the french blog.
  i created in the menu a french tab, but don’t know how to get to the french site.
  can you help me?

  i have also received this answer from you guys at one point, i don’T quite understand it.
  You have purchased cerclede100bouddhas.org, but because other domains are associated with this blog, it has not been set as the primary domain. If you would like cerclede100bouddhas.org to be the address readers see when visiting your site, you can adjust the primary domain settings at the link below.

  thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Howdy,

  On WordPress.com, when you map multiple domains to the same site, they will all direct visitors to the same site, or in other words, short of having a second site in French, it isn’t possible to have the French domain name direct users to a French version of the site as you have it currently configured.

  If you would like to create a second site in French, I can move the French domain to the second site for you.

  Regarding the previous answer, your site now has three domains – circleof100buddhas.wordpress.com, circleof100buddhas.org and cerclede100bouddhas.org . By using the link to the Store->Domains page, you can set which one is “primary”, or the one that will appear in the address bar to users visiting your site.

  If you have any other questions or need anything else, please let me know.

  Cheers!

  Hi,

  I moved the domain over for you so http://cerclede100bouddhas.org/ points to the site at http://truenorthinsight.wordpress.com/ and vice versa.

  Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else!

  Howdy,

  Domain names are “leased” or registered for a year at a time—the way they technically work doesn’t allow for a name to simply be changed.

  For you, you’ll need to purchase the new domain at https://truenorthinsight.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains and set it as primary on that same page after purchase. When the current cerclede100bouddhas.org comes up for renewal in 2014, you can simply let is expire.

  By adding it to the same site that already has the previous domain, both domains will work for the same content.

  Cheers!
