  Recently purchased a domain from outside of the US. “……com.tw”

  I’d like to map this to the current wordpress account I have and utilize custom themes. Can anyone tell me how this can be done. Sorry if this question is elementary. I’m new to this. Thanks.

  You can’t use custom Themes here, you are limited to the 100+++ Themes shown on you Dashboard and a few premium themes at an extra charge. You can buy the CSS upgrade and change the look of your blog but there is no official support of the CSS upgrade and only a couple of unpaid volunteers in the Forum that help with the upgrade so you are on your own there.

  For domain mapping outside the US you will need to contact the staff and ask them to add a zone record to your blog for the mapping to work.
