  If I elect to go to lorenberg.me what happens to my current blog address – lorenberg.wordpress.com? Also, if I adopt lorenberg.me will those that enter lorenberg.wordpress.com still hit my blog?
  Blog url: http://lorenberg.wordpress.com/

  I am considering your offer to take the domain name lorenberg.me and wonder what will happen to my current blog address – lorenberg.wordpress.com? Also, if I do make the change will those that enter http://lorenberg.wordpress.com still hit my blog?

  The domain mapping upgrade allows you to use a custom domain with your WordPress.com site. In your case, lorenberg.wordpress.com would act as your underlying, default URL.

  People visiting your site would see lorenberg.me in their browser’s navigation bar as your site URL. Anyone who types in lorenberg.wordpress.com would be automatically redirected to lorenberg.me:
