  Hello, We have created a WordPress Blog with the address: http://learntechwithghaea.wordpress.com/

  We would like to purchase a premium account and change the domain name of this blog to: Tech-Justincase

  How do we go about buying this blog that we already created and changing the domain name when we purchase?

  Thanks,
  Maryann

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

  To purchase a premium blog upgrade that includes the domain name purchase and domain mapping see here http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase upgrades for the blog.

  See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
