  I own the domain name lauramacky.com and have Godaddy. I’m wondering how to eliminate wordpress in my blog URL. Can I just call godaddy and have them point to my lauramacky.wordpress.com? WILL I LOSE FOLLOWERS??

  How do I go about doing this? I want to have everything remain exactly the same on my wordpress site.

  Thank you!

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

  this should do it – no followers will be lost

  bit more complex if you have email with your custom domain name – but just a couple of extra steps
