  I upgraded to Premium this afternoon in order to have becky0613stamps as my domain.

  However, somewhere along the line, something went wrong as it doesn’t appear to have registered because it is showing up as becky0613stamps.wordpress.com.

  Is there a simple way to correct this?

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

  Hi there,

  I see that you have not registered the domain: becky0613stamps.com yet. Is that the domain you want?

  You can do this by going to Store > My Domains in your Dashboard. Here’s the direct link:

  https://becky0613stamps.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Click on Register a New Domain Name and add: becky0613stamps.com. You will not have to pay for it since you purchased Premium. Please view the guide below for more information:

  Grace,
  I did find it. Thank you.

  Since I made it private, does that mean that I have to use that URL to give to my friends to find me?

  Grace – just one more question, is there a way to change from Pricate to Public?

  After reading over the document on the Private Blog, I think it should be Public.

  Thanks again for your help

  Sure! You can do this by going to Settings > Reading in your Dashboard. I see that you have already done this!

  Cheers!

  Grace,
  I had no idea.

  Thanks again. You know this is really for the young kids. Being 64 years old and not really understanding any of this, I personally want to thank you again!!!
