  Hi there,

  You might consider registering that domain name at Store > Domains in your dashboard, as you did with the first one. It’s possible that your visitors will go to your original domain name by mistake – if you keep it, they’ll be directed to your blog.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain/

  You’re welcome to map as many domains to a single blog as you’d like, and can set the primary domain (the domain that appears in your links) at the Settings > Domains page.

  It’s not really possible to change a domain name, but since you registered it within the past 48 hours, we can cancel the domain and credit you for your purchase. You can then register whatever available domain you’d like. Please be aware, however, that there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to register your original domain name again.

  If you really want to cancel your domain name, please let us know by August 6th, and confirm the domain name you’d like to cancel.

  Thanks for the reply. I guess I will cancel it and reopen a domain name. Thanks!

  Can you please cancel the domain name pictureintruder.com?

  I have already register photointruder.com as the alternate I wanted.

  Thanks!

  Hi there, I have canceled and refunded your domain registration and mapping for pictureintruder.com. It may take up to a week for the refund to appear on your statement. Let us know if we can help you with anything else!
