  Dear Sir / Madam,

  I would want to ask you if it is possible to relink cornevrolijk.wordpress.com with a new blog. When that is not possible, i hope you can remove the subdomainname because it is my first and lastname combined.

  Best regards en much succes for the coming years with wordpress.com and wordpress.org.

  I take it that English is not your first language or you would not have posted that.

  relink cornevrolijk.wordpress.com

  If you have already purchased a domain elsewhere and you would like to use your domain to map to from your free hosted wordpress.com blog to it you will first need to set up domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/ set up domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  If you do not already own a domain name as you now have that underlying .wordpress.com blog you can proceed to purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  If all you want to do is chnage the first part of your blog URL before the .wordpress.com then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
  That option will permanently disable the address and you will not be able to reuse it. Only select this option if you are sure you will not use the address again. If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade.
