  I have a domain name already. (www.foxworth.org) I am not ready to switch but I want to test my blog but not disable my current site.

  Do I need to get a host for my new blog. thanks, Lynn gillen

  Hi there,

  I’m not quite sure what you’re looking to do.

  I can see that you’ve got a site up and running at foxworth.org. Plus I can see that you also have a site at foxworthnews.wordpress.com. Were you looking to create a new home for foxworth.org here with us, or did you want to move the domain foxworth.org over here so that it because the domain for foxworthnews.wordpress.com?

  Let me know what you’d like to do!

  I think, that I want to move foxworth.org to you so my blog material is what our neighbors see in place of the old foxworth.org content.

  OK, that’s not a problem!

  What you’ll need to do is, when you’re ready to point your domain towards us (and there’s no rush! Just when you’re ready), you can follow the directions which we’ve got in this article:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  You already have a mapping credit because of your Value Bundle, so you just need to log in to your account, go to Store >> Domains, and then type in foxworth.org in the space and click the blue button. This will add Domain Mapping for the domain to your account, but then you’ll need to follow the instructions above to change your nameservers for your domain to point them towards us!
