  I was advised through a Linked In member that Feedburner would manage emails with advantages. I tried to upload it unsuccessfully, and now I wonder whether its a plug in, and not allowed on WP.com? I have also connected (with help) my domain name to WP.com but it still shows up as philipparees.wordpress.com, and not philipparees.com. Is there a way to fix this?

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

  You are domain forwarding not domain mapping – you need to domain map to not have the wordpress.com as part of your URL

  If you keep your old email host then you will need to get them to help you change some DNS settings to keep your email working – or you can use gmail with a mapping

  Don’t know about Feedburner but you can’t use script or iframes in your widgets

  Thank you for speedy reply. Can one not use a link in a widget ‘text’ box?

  Yes you can link to another site using a Text Widget – i.e. a sign-up page for your Feedburner subscriptions
