  I was setting up my blog and choose the .blog option….giving me a title of mamakokiblog.wordpress.com. I would otherwise like to pay for the service having chosen the mamakoki.com without the blog part. How do I edit this before I complete my purchase?

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

  Hi mamakoki11,

  How do I edit this before I complete my purchase?

  If you want to remove ‘blog’ from mamakokiblog.wordpress.com, you can change the blog address using these steps:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  I would otherwise like to pay for the service having chosen the mamakoki.com without the blog part.

  Custom domains like mamakoki.com are a feature of paid WordPress.com plans (Personal, Premium or Business). Each paid plan includes a credit which can be used to register a domain:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/

  Once you have registered mamakoki.com and set it as the primary domain, visitors will see it in their address bar instead of mamakokiblog.wordpress.com.

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
