  Hello,
  So I purchased 2 custom domains through WordPress.com.
  I would like to have 2 separate websites but both using WordPress. I thought I could manage both separately using the same email address and user name. Is that possible?
  I did the transfer to website/blog that I found under the support tab but now nothing is working! My other domain will not even come up when clicking “view site” and the one above is only working under “mysundaymorningsdotcom.wordpress.com” instead of “mysundaymornings.com” which I purchased. Can I just delete everything and start over? This is a disaster

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

  Hi sundaypitts,

  Don’t worry this all sounds sortable. First thing to do is go here: https://wordpress.com/sites

  Now, on that page do you see two sites or just one? If you only see one (mysundaymorningsdotcom.wordpress.com), go ahead and create another one with the button for adding a new site on that page.

  After you have both sites set up, go to the my-domains page here: https://wordpress.com/my-domains/.

  Note at the top here you can select your blog, and below that should be the domains you purchased. Select the domain you want to be the primary domain for the first blog (for instance mysundaymornings.com for mysundaymorningsdotcom.wordpress.com), and click update primary domain. Then select the other blog from the dropdown and do the same thing with the other domain you bought.

  After this you should now have your custom domains on both of your separate blogs. Take a look here for further documentation about those processes:

  Hope this helps! If you have any questions let me know.
