Okay I did this. I bought my domain with weebly. I already had a different blog with wordpress.com However, I realized i’ve now only mapped my domain (previously with weebly) to my old blog!
Is it possible to have that blog seperate from my new domain – just have it powered by wordpress. I hope this make sense. Might have to contact support directly

I hope this make sense
Not really. So you have a domain. And you manage it through Weebly? And you have a wordpress.com blog, but you don’t want the wordpress.com blog homepage to be the domain homepage? Witn wordpress.com you can have subdomains, meaning that your blogname.wordpress.com can be mapped as blog.domain.com and domain.com can point to your site wherever it is. Is that you want?

Correct.
I had a domain with weebly. I asked weebly to change the name servers so it could be powered using wordpress. They did that for me.
But what happened was in my attempt to map the domain was what you mentioned. my wordpress blog became became the domain homepage. Like it asks me whether I want my domain to redirect to my wordpress or the wordpress to redirect my domain and i just want them to be seperate.
I just want the 2 blogs be seperate – but have the domain powered by wordpress.
thanks for the quick response!!

1. The name servers for your domain should point to where the main domain is. They must not point to the wordpress name servers (unless you have another blog on wordpress.com that you want to be the domain homepage. Is that what happened, you mapped the wrong wordpress.com blog?).
2. Unmap the main domain from your wordpress.com blog. Simply set blogname.wordpress.com as the ‘primary domain’.
3. Set the CNAME for your domain.com in Weebly, such that blog.domain.com points to blogname.wordpress.com. Then in wordpress.com, you need to map blog.domain.com to your blogname.wordpress.com (which will cost another $9.97)

1. Okay so i should not have changed the nameservers to wordpress. Alright I ll email Weebly about that. They will hate me. Yes i thought changing the nameserver to wordpress would result in my domain being powered by wordpress. But i didn’t want it mapped to my other wordpress blog.
2. Okay done.
3. The last part sounds a bit more tricky. I ll have to email Weebly about the CNAME then.
I should have just bought the domain with wordpress in the first place.
Thanks for all the help. Really appreciate it!

I should have created a new something.wordpress.com blog. Then added the domain to that blog. Simple. I basically wasted 10 dollars mapping . I mapped to the wrong wordpress.com blog.
