  Hi there. I think you’ll have to transfer your domain to a different registrar if you want to use it with your blogspot address. Domains registered through WordPress.com can only be mapped to WordPress.com sites. See instructions for transferring to a different registrar here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/

  While I appreciate kokkieh’s assistance here, the information provided is inaccurate. You can indeed point a domain registered through WordPress.com to different hosting, including Blogger.

  This documentation explains how to do it on our end:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/

  And this page provides the information you need to point it to Blogger:

  Having said that, it may be easier for you in the future if you transfer your domain to a new registrar, and that is up to you.
