  I can’t find the 2nd Domain that I set up. If I put in the domain name I get taken back to a blog in my first domain. The new domain is sbcsociety.com. The old domain is book2rock. When I enter http://www.sbcsociety.com I get taken to the Souvenir Building Collectors Society (which is book2rock) blog. I want to move this blog to the new domain – but I can’t find the new domain. Help!

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

  Hi there,

  I went ahead and changed the primary domain on your account here:

  https://book2rock.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Now, sbcsociety.com is showing the content form book2rock.wordpress.com. Is that what you were looking for?

  Alternatively, if you were looking to setup a completely new blog (with different content) for sbcsociety.com, you will need to create a new blog following the steps here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/#adding-new-blog-to-an-existing-account

  You could create a blog like sbcsociety.wordpress.com. Then, I could transfer the domain to that blog. Does that make sense?

  Sorry, I’m even more confused.
  I thought I had set up a new domain, sbcsociety.com, that I would be able to transfer the blog I have already created at book2rock.com as Souvenir Building Collectors Society to the new domain, sbcsociety.com. I set up the sbcsociety.com with a new email address.
  I wanted to keep it separate from the BookendCollector.com when I was ready to switch the Souvenir Building Collector over to sbcsociety.com.
  I was creating the blog and discouraging search engines until ready to show it to the society.

  Hi there,

  You purchased the domain sbcsociety.com under the WordPress.com blog book2rock.wordpress.com. It’s completely separate from your blog bookendcollector.wordpress.com.

  Think of the WordPress.com URLs as your administrator URLs for each of your blogs. They’re the hub for all of your content. The custom domain just sits on top of the URL and displays for your visitors.

  All of the content you have at book2rock.wordpress.com will now appear with the sbcsociety.com domain. is that what you were looking for?

  It says something about too many redirects.

  DUH! This is what happens when you have Sr Citizens messing around with computers. I’m a pretty good applications end user – but such a bad figure-out what I am doing wrong user. Thanks. It worked.
