  WordPress.com is a blog host. They are hosting your blog http://flavourik.wordpress.com/

  I’m planning to get myname.com. Would it matter I go through Ipage or is it better to go get to them directly?

  You can register a domain name at WordPress.COM – they are a low cost registrar – or you can register a domain with many other registrars – the mechanics are about the same – then the domain name needs to be mapped to your blog –

  Thanks Auxclass. Again I’m a novice. How do I do the mapping? What is mapping? Sorry guys. Be patient with me.

  Domain mapping is the part that turns your-blog.wordpress.com into your-web-site.com

  Here are the steps once a domain name is registered
