Incorrect blog name
-
I was looking into switching over my current web address, http://www.openroadmusic.org, to a wordpress blog, but the process seemed to jump ahead of me when signing up. I wanted to purchase and start a premium package on Monday, with openroadmusic.org as my URL, and was just looking over the details this evening, entering a little information to see what was available for domains, when I closed the page and received emails saying I had signed up for openroadmusicdotorg.wordpress.com.
Not sure what happened, but can someone please help me resolve this issue so I can get started, with openroadmusic.org, and ideally with the $99 (not $168 after signing up) upgrade?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Domain mapping covers up the name of the base blog so the name.wordpress.com does not really matter – yes having the blog name here match the custom domain name I think is nice, However http://openroadmusic.wordpress.com/ was registered some time back so it is not available. You could choose a bit different name if you want – but as noted above it is not required.
If you want a different name than openroadmusicdotorg.wordpress.com – you can go ahead and register it
Dashboard >> My Domains >> Register a new blog
You should be able to transfer the upgrade to a blog you like the name you like better yourself. If you have trouble we can have the Staff transfer the upgrade for you. So no need to buy the same thing twice.
Once you have the base blog name decided on, then transfer the content over or put some content on your new blog here – then you change the name servers for openroadmusic.org, to point to WordPress.COM then map the existing domain name
