  How do I get wordpress to connect to a domain that I own? It keeps saying the domain is reserved.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  If you want to use your own custom domain you need a paid wordpress.com plan – https://wordpress.com/pricing/ – together with Domain Connection, https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  Thanks. Even if I want to use the wordpress.com extension, I still need a paid wordpress account?

  Hi there!

  You don’t need a paid plan if you want to continue using your site with the .wordpress.com address. However, if you want to use a custom domain, you will need a paid plan.

  Can you tell us which address you wanted to use?
