domain name confusion
-
I wanted my name to be ericabatterman.com NOT ericabattermanDOTcom. How do i change this?

Hi, if you already own the domain name “ericabatterman.com” then you can map it to your wordpress.com site.
Here’s how: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

In order to map to a domain URL one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL. It does not have to match the domain URL.
If you do not register a .wordpress.com blog URL first then the software supplies the dot whatever URL so you can proceed with your domain mapping purchase.
All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the new domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the new domain URLs.
