  Hello,

  To use a custom domain name you’ll need to purchase a Personal plan. More info on plans can be found here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/ .

  From there, you can follow this support article to set up your domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/ .

  Hope that helps!

  Yes that helps! I did purchase the personal plan, but when I place photos on a page I am unable to select slide show for them to appear, it only shows thumbnail and the sizes. how do I get the pictures to appear as a slideshow?
