can't create a domain name
-
i’m trying to create a blog with the domain name marceyudayriley.com but when it takes me to the page where I enter my contact info, it says I will be creating a blog called meurblog.com. I don’t want to click “create domain” since it has given me the wrong name.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
You need to register & purchase the domain name marceyudayriley.com the buy the Domain Mapping Upgrade to apply the name to a blog here

If I create the blog first, then buy the upgrade. Can I apply the new domain name to the blog I already created? Thx

Yes you can do that. It does not matter a feather or fig what the underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain URL is when you are domain mapping.In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.
See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you 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.
