  Bruce: we’ll help you with the steps that we can. If you’ve already registered a domain name , some of the steps are specific to your registrar, and we can provide only limited help with those.

  what if you have a full website with a page called blog and you want it to be basically your wordpress blog page, but with your domain name instead? i don’t just want a blog, i have other pages on my site. thanks in advance.

  It’s not possible to have a page pointing at your WordPress.com blog (example.com/blog/) but it is possible to have a subdomain like blog.example.com point to your WordPress.com blog, while example.com or http://www.example.com points to your regular web site.

  See the “subdomain” questions in the FAQ:
