  We purchased the option to use our domain name. When I click on one of our tags or categories, it takes me to a wordpress.com site (http://en.wordpress.com/tag/tag name). Can this be changed to go to our site instead?

  Thank you.

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

  Having your own domain doesn’t affect the behavior of global tags and categories that are attached to your posts. They will always lead to the WordPress.com tags and categories pages. Those are super for added search engine visibility.

  If you want to also display tags that point back to your blog’s Posts, then add the respective widget.
