  I’m interested in a Custom Domain and wondered if the format used by – scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org – as shown, is available and if so what is the yearly fee and how do I go about customizing it. I already own the domain name that I want to use. Thanks

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

  The theme is available here and it`s free theme http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/themorningafter/
  The customizing was done by the blogger and I don`t know what their position is but if I was paying $30.00 per year to customize my theme and someone else ripped-off my customization I would be very unhappy.

  Before you go ahead with this please read this section very carefully > Domains – Important Notes Before Upgrading
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase or you must already own it.

  After you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog from the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades.

  See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  See here for mapping a sub-domain (for a domain with an existing website) to your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing 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.
