  I would like to keep my hosted blog, but have it appear under a subdomain. For example, instead of http://www.rockerroseart.com I would like it to be under blog.rocketroseart.com.
  It would be good to have all Google indexed pages redirected accordingly as well.
  Regards
  Jeff

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

  Hi Greyrocket,

  On WordPress.com, you can use a subdomain of a domain that you already own. For instance, if you already have a website (yourgroovydomain.com) and you have a WordPress.com blog at, say, example.wordpress.com, you can put your blog in a subdomain of your main website, such as blog.yourgroovydomain.com.

  Mapping a subdomain with the Domain Mapping Upgrade costs $13.00 per subdomain, per blog, per year.

  Hi Michael
  At the moment I use my own domain ‘rocketroseart.com’. I assume if I remap it from rocketroseart.com to blog.rocketroseart.com then all Google indexed pages would fail.
  Is this correct?
