  I see that buying the “Site Redirect” one can ‘forward visitors to another WordPress.com blog or an external site’ … but can I do the reverse? Can I set up a redirect from an old domain name, such as http://www.youngadultfiction.com to my current WordPress.com (www.archerswiftbooks.com)? If so, how?

  Thank you.

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

  You want domain mapping – you can have more than one domain name mapped to the same blog here, but only one can be Primary

  You might also be able to domain forwarding at your Registrar
