    My blog’s name is rhinopress.org. Since it’s a newspaper and it focuses a good amount sports like the World Cup and NBA, I want to add a domain: worldcup.rhinopress.org that will lead to another blog of my own with a new look.
    Do I buy a new domain? Do I need to move all the articles, etc.?

    Thank you,

    Jessica

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

    Hey Jessica,

    You can indeed do this. Have you already created the new World Cup site? If so, you can go to your new site’s Dashboard and click Store. Then Register a New Domain Name. In the field, you’ll type: worldcup.rhinopress.org

    You will see a warning that the domain is already taken. Click YES when you are asked, “Do you already own this domain name?” Then, you can complete the mapping process.

    Be sure to set your new subdomain worldcup.rhinopress.com as your primary domain in Store → My Domains in your new site’s Dashboard.
