  Hi please can you direct me to the correct information documents that will instruct me how to move an existing WordPress Blog from WordPress to our own domain. The blog is still to be a WordPress blog but we want all pages with our website so that they are indexed by the search engines with our domain name and paths to articles.

  Also if you can direct me to the correct documents that will teach me how to set-up a brand new blog on our own domain from scratch as we wish to create another WordPress Blog for another site.

  Thanks
  Anton Halpern

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

  Hello there,
  If you do not wish to have broken links then you must purchase a site redirect > http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/
  Then you need to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.org install and move your content by export/import.
  support documentation > http://en.support.wordpress.com
  search string > move to wordpress.org

  But you can also simply by your own domain & have the redirect lead from a wordpress.com blog to your own domain name, while still hosted at wordpress.com. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/
