  Hi,

  I own the domain name to my name. it’s AlexPopovic.com. How can I set up my blog to reflect that name AlexPopovic? right now it’s under alexpopovicrealtor.com. When i type in alexpopovic it says it’s taken. I thought by owning that domain name I own the WP blog for it too?

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

  Nope. Nor for Blogspot, Tumblr, or wherever else.

  I suggest you set up your blog as a subdomain, like blog/alexpopovic.com

  it means you didn’t register it. Maybe someone else did. you just don’t automatically own it.

  I have no idea: how good are your online research skills?
