  Many thanks,

  It looks like you already deleted your blog. Hopefully it didn’t have a lot of content that you’ve lost!

  What you want is mapping a domain to your WordPress.com website, unless you want to use WordPress.org instead. Here is some info about mapping the domain you own to a WordPress.com website/blog:

  If you want to set up your website with WordPress.org, that’s a different and more complicated process. Here’s info on the difference between the two platforms:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Thanks so much for your response. I don’t really know what “mapping” means.

  I gues I should ask the question in a diffrent way:

  Is it possible to use http://www.themexicankitchencompany.com (which I already bougth from 1&1, but they have awful templetes!) in one of the wordpress free templates?

  Yes there’s a way. Create a new site here at WordPress.com and start adding posts. Chose what ever free theme you like. Then point your domain name at 1&1 to that website address. That’s what mapping a domain means. That link I gave earlier tells you how to do it.
