  Hi there

  I opened a blog called yummyummfood.com. i bought the domain name at godaddy and connected to my wordpress blog.

  However, when i type http://www.yummyummfood.com or yummyummfood.com at the URL bar, the browse bar only display http://yummyummfood.com

  So, i am wondering if i can get the full url displayed on the browse bar. also wondering how can i add the www onto my domain name.

  Thanks

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

  http://yummyummfood.com is your complete URL. You don’t need the 3 w’s.

  WWW is a subdomain and wordpress does not map to subdomains. It is also very quickly going out of fashion and fewer and fewer are using it.

  From the domain mapping support document http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/ :

  “Note: You cannot map only the “www” subdomain since we remove the www from all the URLs at wordpress.com”.
