  Hi guys – Help – can find the instructions but can’t seem to find the “Add a domain” widget or page so that can actuall “transfer” my wordpress URL to one without that. Many thanks!

  Are you wanting to apply http://vivaglobalmarketing.com/ to a new blog here? Could you give us a little more information please?

  Or are you wanting to buy a new domain name?

  HI guys – sorry if confusing. I just purchased “vivainternationalpartners.org” for new company and want my current blog, vivaglobal.wordpress.com to be “routed” to that URL I am keeping the same blog.. Make sense?

  ALSO, please help with another item: when you set a blog to PRIVATE, does it mean ONLY the people you email it to see it? No others searching the web, for example?

  You guys rock, thanks!

  This support document covers mapping a domain name that you have to a site here. If you have multiple blogs here, make sure you are in the dashboard of the site that you want to map the domain to.

  When a site is set to private, you have to physically add users (via their wordpress.com username) for them to be able to see your site. You are allowed 35 users for free and then there is an Unlimited Private Users upgrade if you would need that.
