  When opening my account, I chose the domain name “jasonchandler.net.” However, when I received a confirmation e-mail, the domain name assigned to me is “jasonchandlerdotnet.wordpress.com”. I’m not sure how to change this–I don’t see any options to do so in my profile. How can I delete this domain and get the one that I originally requested?

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

  jasonchandler.net – is a custom domain name – if you want that name – you need to register the name $5.-/yr and Domain Map it to your blog $13.-/yr

  http://jasonchandlerdotnet.wordpress.com/ – with the “wordpress” in the name is the free name – to have jasonchandler.net is a paid upgrade

  Thanks! So–I’ve paid for the upgrade and set “jasonchandler.net” as my primary domain. How do I get rid of the jasonchandlerdotnet.wordpress.com?
