  I have already registered my domain name (yoganikko.com) through godaddy.com, but would like to now build a website using wordpress. How would I go about it?

  Hello!

  When you create your WordPress.com blog, WordPress.com will create a domain for you ( example.wordpress.com). If you would like to map yoganikko.com to your WordPress.com blog, you will need to purchase Domain Mapping.

  Domain mapping is a paid upgrade that costs $13.00 per domain, per year. This fee is unrelated to the amount you pay GoDaddy.com for your domain itself. You will need to remember to continue renewing your domain with GoDaddy even after you have mapped it to WordPress.com. Additional information and instructions can be found using the link below:

  Did you also buy hosting from GoDaddy, or just the domain name?
