  I want my domain name to appear http://www.popsofcolors.com not popsofcolors.wordpress.com. How do I get rid of the popsofcolors.wordpress.com?

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

  A whois on popsofcolors.com does not show that domain as being registered – who did you register your domain name with?

  I have registered with Host Rocket. But I registered with WordPress so my blog would not have the words wordpress in it. Am I doing something wrong?

  Have a chat with Host Rocket as your domain name does not seem to have been registered.

  Domain mapping is separate and happens on WordPress.COM after the domain name has been registered – the domain mapping is the act that changes the name to take away the WordPress.COM from the URL.

  When you have the domain name registered then follow these instructions for domain mapping: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
