  Greetings,

  I would like to change/purchase a new domain name for my existing blog. I would like to know how to link my existing blog address to my new domain name? I want to readers to be directed to the new address when they enter the old one. Would I use site redirect?

  Thanks,
  Day

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

  You don’t do any of that. You purchase the domain name and mapping and follow these instructions. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Thanks
  Just for clarification…would I set the new domain as my primary domain and list the old handle as a sub domain?
