Domain mapping
-
Hi,
I want to create a new wordpress.com site and I already have a domain that I bought from GoDaddy. The last time I mapped a domain to a wordpress.com site, it only mapped the home page and when I navigated through the site, the other pages showed the wordpress url – is this still the case?
Thanks

My blogs have domain mapping upgrades and they apply to every page in the blog so I think you are confused.
re: mapping an existing domain
Please read this first Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgradingWordPress.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 every year.
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium ujpgrade 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.
