Found the domain name cheeper, but I would like to use Word Press. Any suggestions? Can I buy the domain name someplace else and use it here?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, but finding a domain name for less than $5.00 which is what the domain name is going for here in the domain mapping upgrade package is rare indeed. The rest of the fee is for domain mapping and it applies no matter where you purchase the domain name.
The subscription for domain mapping an existing domain is $13.00 per year for one blog.
You need to have an underlying .wordpress.com blog URL to domain map from to the domain URL.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog and purchase upgrades for it.
If you would like to use your domain name purchased elsewhere and map from your free hosted wordpress.com blog to it, then you will first need to set up domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
