    gloriagypsy.wordpress.com is no longer available.
    The authors have deleted this site.

    Deletion of a blog is permanent and irreversible. That’s why there are three warnings AND an email confirmation.

    I do not need help with gloriagypsydesigns.wordpress.com
    I had to enter something in that field.
    I want to use gloriagypsy.wordpress.com as I was considering transferring my website and old blog (gloriagypsy.com) over to wordpress….

    I wish that I could actually talk to a support professional rather than having to fill this out in a forum!

    Well, then I will have to host my blog and website somewhere else.

    They will not be able to give you gloriagypsy.wordpress.com.

    If you just want to use the custom domain, the underlying URL doesn’t matter. You can attach gloriagypsy.com to any whatever.wordpress.com just using the $13 a year domain mapping upgrade.

    WordPress.com provides free blogs and free hosting for them. WordPress.com does not accept domain name transfers but mapping to an existing domain can be done, as raincoaster has said.

    Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.

    Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and it does not matter what that URL is. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

    See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
