  I have made many changes to my blog and I can view all of the changes when I view http://drinkerimages.wordpress.com but none of those changes are visible on http://drinkerimages.com. That site, the public site looks the way it did a month ago.

  How do I publish all these changes?

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

  I’m not clear about what you mean. The empty blog at the second URL is a wordpress.ORG software install if you want to export the contents out of your wordpress.com blog and import them into that install then that’s easily done. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#toc

  If you intend to create two blogs with duplicated contents then do be aware that the result can be Google penalties for creating duplicate content. http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66359

  Google Page Rank and Technorati authority and rank belong to the root blog ie. the original wordpress.com sub-domain url for the blog. [http://drinkerimages.wordpress.com]

  When you purchase a domain name and move the blog to another URL all the links will be broken unless you also purchase domain mapping (302 temporary redirect) so readers are seamlessly transferred between the URLs.

  The PageRank on the new blog on your domain will drop to 0/10. That can’t be avoided, however, in about 4 – 6 months time, all things considered you may be able to restore it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
