  I opened a mydomain.wordpress.com blog having getting the domain through WordPress. However, after a few days and some research I realized what I really wanted is mydomain.com So through Bluehost I have tried to open my domain.com using WordPress Themes, etc. yet it still links back to the mydomain.wordpress.com. How do I get rid of this link to just get mydomain.com?

  The domain educatorjournal.com is registered at WordPress.com . To point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), please follow the instructions here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/#changing-domain-name-servers

  Note you will need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)

  Hope this helps – let us know if you have any more questions!
