  I accidentaly created the domain name alineableson.wordpress.com, but I just wanted to use a domain that I already own instead of the wordpress domain. Just wondering how I can change this.

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

  You require and underlying .wordpress.com site to domain map from to your domain URL. WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. See: Map an existing domain (one you already own) to your WordPress.com blog – if you already have a domain that you registered and purchased elsewhere.

  Hello –

  As timethief mentioned you just need to setup Domain Mapping. To do this you’ll need to add an upgraded WordPress.com plan to your account. You can check those out from wordpress.com/pricing/

  Please let me know if you have any questions about this information :)
