  Hi WordPress community,
  I had two blogs with Wordress: nataliesyn.wordpress.com and andreuskitchen.wordpress.com
  Lately, I purchased domains http://www.nataliesong.com through asmallorange for one of my blogs. However, when I login through cPanel, it seems like wordpress created a new account for me. And I wasn’t able to upload my profile picture either…
  Please help.

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

  Hi natalie8961,

  Are you looking to have the domain you purchased point to one of your existing WordPress.com blogs? Or are you looking to setup a new blog all together using asmallorange?

  There are two ways to use WordPress either on WordPress.com or having a self hosted version from WordPress.org and a separate hosting provider.

  Let us know how you want to use it.

  If you want to point your domain to one of your existing blogs this article should help a lot http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  If you want to use the self hosted option you would need to go to the WordPress.org support forums at http://wordpress.org/support/ and start a thread there for help.
