  Hi there,

  Well all you need to do is make sure that you set up your account (which you appear to have already). Then you can import any posts or pages which you had with your other WordPress.org installation (assuming it was WordPress) through the Import tool:

  Import a Website

  And then once everything is running how you want it to, you can map your domain to your WordPress.com account using domain mapping:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  And point your domain using WordPress.com nameservers, which are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  I hope this helps!

  This was very helpful. WordPress is the registrar, so it there a way for you to help me get the domain mapping done?
  Thanks!

  Could you let me know what domain and what WordPress.com blog you’re trying to get matched up?

  Hi there!

  It looks like writteninconcrete.com is tied to knutmeg.wordpress.com. Is that what you want to continue?

  If so, you’ll need to log in to your account at:

  http://knutmeg.wordpress.com/wp-admin and then follow the instructions here:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  And when you’ve logged in to the domain name interface, just make sure you change your nameservers to ours:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
