  I purchased the Domain http://coffeeisonlyforclosers.com for my WordPress blog – coffeeisonlyforclosers.wordpress.com

  Can you please help me set up the new domain name so that i cant still control it from wordpress but will have http://coffeeisonlyforclosers.com as the active link?

  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions

  Sure, you just need to set the domain as primary from Store -> Domains in your blog’s Dashboard.

  It looks like the domain has not full propagated yet.

  It can take domain changes up to 72 hours (though usually much less) to propagate to your ISP. Unfortunately, we have no control over this as it all depends on how often your ISP refreshes their DNS cache.

  I recommend giving it maybe 6 hours or so, then try again.

  Hi there,

  It’s not possible to embed that code for security and performance reasons:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  And the theme editor is a feature of self-hosted WordPress blogs:

  The good news is that we offer an excellent stats package built in:

  Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need anymore help. :-)
