  I want my blog and domain name to be the same place. Right now it looks like bratter90 and fellspointalley are separate pages.
  also I don’t want my email address to be public, how can I prevent that from happening?

  ps I’ve never blogged before and I’ve managed to completely confuse myself through the process.

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

  Hello there. You currently have fellspointalley.com set up to map to thurmanjesse.wordpress.com/. It appears as if you’ve deleted that blog.

  I can disconnect this and remap fellspointalley.com to connect to bratter90.wordpress.com/, if you give me permission to do so.

  Also, where are you seeing that your email is public? Please give me a link to that page and I can assist you in hiding your personal information.

  Thanks so much!

  Thank you. Yes please do connect fellspointalley.com to bratter90.wordpress.com/. I’m confused though because I don’t understand why they are separate. Is one a blog, and the other is something else?
  As you can tell I have little knowledge of this.
  My intent is to write a blog about the locals of my neighborhood. I wanted to used fellspointalley.com to do that. So do I even need the bratter90??

  Hello there,

  I have remapped bratter90.wordpress.com with fellspointalley.com.

  You actual site is bratter90.wordpress.com. You will edit and maintain it on your Dashboard at bratter90.wordpress.com/wp-admin. All of your posts and pages, your images, your text, etc will live there.

  Your domain name is fellspointalley.com/. This is not a site. It is simply a custom name that you have purchased so that your site will not appear as bratter90.wordpress.com in your address bar.

  All of your visitors will see http://fellspointalley.com in their address bar. But the content they will see in their browser window is from bratter90.wordpress.com/.

  I hope this clears things up! Since you’re newer with WordPress.com, I highly recommend this informative link:

  learn.wordpress.com

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much and happy blogging!
