  Hi all.

  Okay, say i have a domain: http://mydomain.com
  and I have a blog here: http://myblog.wordpress.com

  I want to use http://mydomain.com/blog
  to map to http://myblog.wordpress.com

  Is it possible to do that?
  I heard it is not possible to map with a sub-directory?

  sorry there is a type.

  The title should be: is it possible to do domain mapping to a SUB-DIRECTORY?

  i know it works for sub-domain, but not sure about sub-directory

  A quick search of support documentation produced this http://en.support.wordpress.com/tag/subdirectory/

  Thanks for your reply.

  Yup I have read that page. and noticed that

  “Subdirectories Sorry, but you are not able to map a subdirectory (e.g. example.com/blog) to your WordPress.com blog.”

  I am just wondering, is this limitation still apply?

  you can try using a 301 redirect with an htaccess file in your subdir

  I thought this was a question about a wordpress.COM blog?
