  I just registered a domain name through godaddy.com and I want to have my blog appear at that address. I don’t know where to begin and would really appreciate click-by-click instructions if that is possible. Thanks a lot!

  OK! You can map the domain by following the instructions on the support page here.

  Basically, you first need to change the name servers over in your GoDaddy admin interface to
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM and
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  you can then come back to your WordPress.com dashboard, and go to Upgrades > Domains and enter your domain into the box there in order to complete the mapping process, and enter payment.

  We’ll be here should you get stuck!
