  Are you asking: How do I purchase a domain name of my own and map to it from my .wordpress.com blog?

  Or are you asking: How do I change the URL ie. the blog address to another .wordpress.com URL?

  Please respond to me without the use of excessive punctuation when en you reply, as excessive punctuation use makes one appear to be childish and or hysterical.

  You look at one of the three other posts on the forum front page that answer this question. Or you type the question into the search box on the Support documents, and you get http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Option 1: change to another .wordpress.com blog URL
  You cannot edit any URL. If you want to change the blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so then you can change the URL by using this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Option 2: purchase a domain name and or a domain mapping upgrade
  Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
  All About Domains http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/

  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.

  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.

  As you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

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

  See here if you already own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing 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.

  re: front page error message

  Nothing Found
  It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

  By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  For creating a post see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post
  For creating a page see here
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page

  For editing see:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/

  On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/

  The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

  When we register a username account the matching blog is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

  If you own the username account then you can log out, clear your browser cache and cookies and then log in as Admin under the correct matching username account and register the blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ If you don’t own that username account then you cannot register the reserved blog.

  Hi there,

  I see that you changed the blog name from myurbanwardrobe.wordpress.com to vividlydressed.wordpress.com, but you recently permanently deleted that site.

  I’m sorry but the site is no longer available. I see that you did create this site shortly after:

  http://myurbanwardrobe.wordpress.com/

  You can find customize this site by logging into that dashboard here:

  https://myurbanwardrobe.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
