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

  Hi there,

  It sounds like you have a custom domain that you want to use instead of the free WordPress.com address, correct?

  In that case, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan first, and then you can connect the domain to your site using our domain mapping upgrade.

  You have deleted your site simplystagedspaces.wordpress.com. If you want it to be restored add ‘modlook’ and ‘deleted site’ to the tags.
