  Hello!

  I’m in the process of starting up a blog and I would like to change my domain name from it’s current: pinterestbusters.wordpress.com. I tried entering a new domain name under the Store -> Domain location but I just got an error message that said “you cannot add this domain name.” Does that just mean it’s taken?

  Best,

  Emily

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

  We can’t tell without seeing the domain name. Note that that particular option is for people to buy a custom domain like whatever.com instead of whatever.wordpress.com. If you just want another wp.com domain, and you have a brand new blog, we simply advise you to register a whole new blog and set the old one to Private, so you always have a spare for tinkering with themes and widgets.
