  In the login process I clicked .com in order to get my own website, right?! But wordpress ignored my command and I ended up with .wordpress.com. I tried this three times, what’s going on?

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

  Well, everyone starts with the whatever.wordpress.com URL but you can go to your Dashboard->Store->Domains and get the URL you want.

  Well if you didn’t go through the purchasing process at > Store > Domains then you will have to do that now. For all the steps to take to purchase a domain name and domain mapping see:
