  Hi…I have spirituallyfityoga.com hosted on Pair.com and I am not getting the amount of traffic I want, like my other blogs hosted on wordpress.com. Please provide instructions on how to transfer my blog to wordpress.com. Or, maybe I just need help on setting up the correct apps to generate traffic to my blog hosted on pair.com? Thank you for your help!

  Thank you! I didn’t see information about setting it up with the same domain name? It looks like I would create a “new” blog with newname.wordpress.com, export from my self-hosted blog then import to newname.wordpress.com. But, what is the next step to keep my spirituallyfityoga.com domain name?

  Thank you!

  You’ve got it all correct.

  To get the domain name, you would use the Domain Mapping upgrade and these instructions:

  Make sense?
