  I bought a “.com” domain and would like to attach this to my myblog.wordpress.com ???
  Where is this option to let me do this? I went to Domain tab and it’s asking for credits??
  I’m not understanding this concept. Can someone care to explain? I thought nuying a domain(from Netfirms)
  would be all that is needed. Just need to direct it to “myblog.wordpress.com”. Is there a cost to do this?

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

  Have you changed the name servers like the instructions said? Does typing your domain name in your browser take you to the WordPress home page? If yes, go Settings -> Domains. Put your domain name in the box, click ‘Add domain to blog’, and follow the prompts.

  Credits are bought through PayPal, so you will need a PayPal account to have a domain on wordpress.com.
