I set up domain mapping but, I think that I actually need to use wordpress.org.

  I’m really confused. I’m setting up WordPress.org on Hostgator for this domain. But, I set up domain mapping here on wordpress.com. I’m having trouble installing the theme Magnescent. So, I thought that it might need to be done on WordPress.org. I see your explanation of differences but, which one do i need to get this theme working?

  You will need to use your WordPress.org install in order to upload any themes – we don’t allow the uploading of any custom themes on WordPress.com.

  O.k. so did I mess up by setting up domain mapping on wordpress.com? Therefore, I do not need that service…correct?

  Yes, you don’t need the domain mapping upgrade if you have a self-hosted WordPress.org install. Would you like me to remove it and refund your money?

  No problem – I have cancelled the domain mapping and refunded your $12.

  Have fun blogging! :)
