  Hi all

  I have a domain name registered with fasthost http://www.eleventhavenue.co.uk.

  Is it possible to set up so when people type it in the address bar, it automatically changes to eleventhavenuestudio.wordpress.com and opens my wordpress plog?

  I know with wix there was an option to do this for free as long the address bar changed, ie; type in studio.co.uk became studio.wix.com.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks

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

  You could forward the domain name to your blog here if you want – but your domain name will never build up any identity and the forward will sometimes confuse people as they put in one URL and end up at another URL

  The best way is to map the domain to your blog here – no it is not free $ 13.- / year

  Then your visitors will see eleventhavenue.co.uk. in the browser address bar if you set the proper primary domain name
