  Hi there,

  I would like to change my URL address from dianavarakinablog.wordpress.com to dianavarakinablog.com. As far as I remember it involves paying for the domain.
  How could it be organised?

  Many thanks,
  Diana

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

  Hi there. You have two options: You can either register a new domain directly with WordPress.com or you can register a domain elsewhere and then just map it to your WordPress.com blog. Full instructions here:

  You should be able to buy either upgrade by going to Store in your dashboard, but some users have experienced that the system redirects them to the upgrade bundles page when they try to buy single upgrades. If that happens to you, let us know.
