  Just started a new blog but when I try to upgrade it only offers me choices of my two other older blogs. I also need the ip address so my hosting company can direct my domain.
  Blog url: http://lyanavoteyphotography.wordpress.com/

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

  Okay, you have my attention.

  1) specifically which blog are you talking about? We need the URL and we need to know if you’re the Admin of that blog and if you are the Admin of that blog on the SAME username as you are of the other two blogs.

  2) Blogs here don’t have static IPs. This is what you need http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  Are you the admin of all three blogs using the same username? What happens when you go to the dashboard of that blog? What does it say on the Store page?

  Update: Bluehost walked me through exporting/importing. The content is now on my domain but the theme is wrong. I was just going to choose the correct theme again but it doesn’t show as available yet I have the blog up on another tab with that particular theme (the way I set it up). While exporting/importing, I did not have the option of entering my user name, only admin. So my domain is LyanaVoteyPhotography.com and the theme I was using is Nuntius.

  http://www.lyanavoteyphotography.com/ is not a WordPress.com blog. For help with that one you will need to go to WordPress.ORG instead. They are totally separate systems.

  I can’t seem to get anyone’s attention at WordPress.ORG. Any help with that? I’m getting very, very frustrated.

  Let’s start over here. I’m figuring out the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org. Following someone’s advice, I signed up at Bluehost for my new blog here at wordpress so that the new blog would have my custom domain name. I’m now thinking that having Bluehost is what is screwing me up. When I try to get to the store to purchase domain mapping, my options are only offered for my other two wordpress.com blogs but not the new one. How do I get wordpress to host my new blog with my custom domain name? This has been rocking on for days and I really need a resolution fast as the blog showing up at my domain is wrong. Please help.
