  How do I drop the wordpress part of the web address on entertoearn.wordpress.com
  I do own entertoearn.com.
  I did it on my other blog jamesawatt.com but can’t remember how?

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

  You can definitely add a custom domain to your WordPress.com blog. The instructions are slightly different based on whether you already own the domain or not, but you can follow the necessary steps here:

  Let me know if you have any other questions!

  Thanks for the info’ now I see where it is screwing up.
  I started a 2nd blog entertoearn.wordpress.com if I type that in it takes me where I want to go.
  If I drop it to entertoearn.com it takes me to my 1st blog jamesawatt.com.
  How do I change entertoearn.wordpress.com to entertoearn.com and have it take me to my 2nd blog? The right place.

  Hello,

  I have changed the domain mapping, so http://entertoearn.com/wp-admin/ -> https://entertoearn.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Cheers!

  OK that backfired. I want jamesawatt.com and entertoearn.com completely separate. Now even entertoearn.wordpress.com goes to jamesawatt.com.
  I guess I should have opened a 2nd account instead of a 2nd blog?
  How about if I transfer ownership of entertoearn.wordpress.com would that fix my problem?

  When I visit entertoearn.com I get entertoearn.wordpress.com (which seems correct from what I’m reading). and jamesawatt.com gets me jamesawatt.wordpress.com (which also seems correct)

  Two questions…

  1 – is my description above what you want to happen?

  2 – is it not what you’re seeing?

  Win, lose or draw. I would like to thank you for your assistance it is appreciated.
