Must I wait till my domain expires before I can transfer to wordpress?
-
I read that wordpress doesn’t take transferred domain names. My domain expires in March. I already transferred my hosting & remapped DNS. I would like the full transfer as soon as possible. Please advise.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can’t transfer your domain name to WordPress.COM – if you let it expire then it won’t work for maybe 60 days or more and someone else might buy the domain name and hold it hostage – you want to map your domain name – see below

If I map it & pay the upgrade, will it work the same as though I had the domain through wordpress?
Meaning, if it will show up in browsers as LadySkullshine.com vs LadySkullshine.wordpress.com? -

yes
Your visitors will see LadySkullshine.com not LadySkullshine.wordpress.com
One note: You will still log into the Dashboard of LadySkullshine.wordpress.com when you are working on your blog
