Can I use a domain name already registered elsewhere?

  I registered my domain name with another registrar. Now, when I try to create my blog/website with WordPress, it says that domain name is taken (by me!).
  Can you only use WordPress if the domain name is registered through them? Or is there a way to bypass registration with WordPress?
  Thanks!!

  You be welcome & good luck

  Another note on domains – WordPress.COM is not set up to accept incoming domain name transfers
