  To add a domain, simply log into your WordPress.com site’s dashboard, click on Store–>Domains, click “register a new domain name”, enter jaybriberyblogs.com in the box and click the “go” button. Then just follow the instructions that appear to register your domain.

  I didn’t say “add” I said “change.” I want to change “fritwa.com” to “jaybriberyblogs.com”

  Understood.

  So you can’t change a custom domain in any other way aside form adding/purchasing a new one. The second part of the process, that I see I didn’t mention, is that you set your new domain to be the “primary” domain for your site. My apologies for any confusion.

  You do that in the same place that you set up a new domain. Store–>Domains.

  Let me know if you have any trouble.
