changing primary domain
-
I have just created this blog, typed theslowtranslator as domain name, then paid for mapping to an existing domain (theslowtranslator.com), only to discover that the primary domain is theslowtranslatorcom! I need the mapped address to redirect to theslowtranslator.wordpress.com, not theslowtranslatorcom.wordpress.com. How can I change the primary domain?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You cannot register a domain someone else already owns. Do you already own this domain?
theslowtranslator.com is hosted by Advantage Interactive Limited

Name Servers:
ns0.lcn.com
ns1.lcn.comre: mapping an existing domain
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.
If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
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.

If you do own the domain then you can purchase a domain mapping upgrade. Know that there has to be an underlying .wordpress.com blog URL to map from to the domain URL.

https://theslowtranslator.wordpress.com is no longer available.The authors have deleted this site.
No one can register any deleted blog URL.
Deleting any .wordpress.com blog URL is not easily done and what you ask to do is not possible. One has to ignore at least three warnings stating that deletion is permanent and irreversible and then click a verification link in an email to delete a blog. That’s because deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
