  I have purchased a domain name from go-daddy.com and have had them “connect” ramblingsfromtheleft to this name. I would not like to change the official name of the blog from the old “ramblings” to the new “florencefoisinthecity.com” … I want to be sure that I do not lose my subscribers, that all past posts from ramblings will come with me, and I want to know how to do this.

  If there is a fee for this service, I am more than happy to pay. Please advise how to do this and how much it will cost. Thank you.
  Blog url: http://ramblingsfromtheleft.wordpress.com/

  Hi there,

  You can map your domain, florencefoisinthecity.com, to your WordPress.com blog at http://ramblingsfromtheleft.wordpress.com in just a few steps.

  First, you’ll need to change your name servers to:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  You can make this change at GoDaddy.

  Once you’ve done so, log into your blog’s dashboard, and navigate to Store -> Domains. Enter your domain name — florencefoisinthecity.com — into the input box, and follow the prompts.

  Full instructions on mapping your domain are here:

  Mapping a domain name won’t result in any lost subscribers or posts. Your blog will just become available at your new domain name.

  You can change your site’s title at any time under Settings -> General in your dashboard.

  Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need anymore help. :-)
