  How do I get my own email account with my company name/wordpress blog name (rather than hotmail.com)?

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

  Hi ironwoodforestschool,

  You will need to have a custom domain first.

  Then you will have two options:

  1. Utilize Email Forwarding (http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/) which can forward (email visible only to moderators and staff) to your hotmail address.

  2. Utilize a third-party email hosting service. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

  Brilliant, thanks. Do you mean by ‘custom domain’, that I need to upgrade so that I lose the ‘wordpress.com’ part of my URL?
