  I WANT TO REDIRECT the site I created on wordpress -THE PHOTOGRAPHY MASTER RETREAT- to a real domain name website I own -THE PHOTOGRAPHY MASTER RETREAT.COM.
  How can I do that?
  Ideally I would then just close my wordpress account.
  Best,
  Martine

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

  Don’t redirect anything – buy domain mapping $ 13.- / year

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Visitors will see thephotographymasterretreat.com. in the address bar of the browser – you will however still make Posts etc in the dashboard of thephotographymasterretreat.wordpress.com. –

  the site linked to my name is domain mapped if you want to see how it looks

  If you have actual content right now on thephotographymasterretreat.com and what you want is to take anyone going to your WP.com blog and kick them to the other, independent site, then you just buy the Redirect upgrade and it will do that. It will not connect that URL to your WP.com blog. Follow auxclass’s instructions if that is what you want to do.
