  Hello, I just purchased my upgrade to premium (the 2 week trial), but now what do I do? Am I able to adjust my blog address to remove the “.wordpress”? Can I change my address completely to something different (which is what I’d really like to do. If I change will my old posts automatically be added to the new blog?

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

  Hello there!

  Now that you have the Free Trial, you can add a custom domain name. If you decide to purchase the Premium upgrade at the end of your trial, your domain cost will be bundled into the rest of the Premium features.

  If you decide to keep the domain name, but get rid of the Premium upgrade, you can do so, but will be charged $18 for the domain.

  You can add your domain by clicking Store in your Dashboard, or simply clicking the link below:

  https://benchwarrior.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&ref=store-wp-admin

  Click Register a Domain Name to begin that process.

  If you’re new with domains, and aren’t sure how they work with your WordPress.com site, this may help:

  I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!
