  I purchased a domain name from wordpress thinking it would be shown as .com but it is reading beccachasedotcom.wordpress. Is there a way I can change the domain name to .com or do I have to purchase a new domain name?
  Thanks for any info.

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

  If you purchased the domain from WordPress.com you may have also purchased the domain mapping upgrade at the same time? If so, there are a few more steps you’ll need to do before you’ll see your blog on your domain name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/

  beccachase.com has been purchased and pointing to WordPress.COM servers.

  In the domain Mapping did you set beccachase.com as the primary domain?
