I cant buy a domain
-
I want to pay 18 dollars and register a new domain that ends on .com and not wordpress.com, but everytime I try, I end up on the same page (the one where I have to type my own information)?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.
See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
The only accepted means of payment are found here
http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
Notes:
Your content stays exactly where it is. All that changes is the URLs and your visitors are seamlessly redirected from the original .wordpress.com URLs to the same content under the new domain URLs.Read also Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

Hi there,
It looks like you were able to successfully purchase the domain blackwhiteandinbetween.com. Were you able to get this worked out?
