Jones, this seems like a really good issue to raise with support. For how to do so, see timethief, a couple of replies back.

can i have 2 wordpress address on 1 weblog? for ex: hadi.wordpress.com and farnoud.wordpress.com
-
Afraid not. Staff has stated that they’re not going to support internal forwarding like that.

If your domain name provider isn’t with wordpress.com, you should be able to do CNAME redirects to other sites.
I’m currently playing with getting http://linkblog.internetducttape.com to point to http://engtech.tumblr.com but with no luck.

I just paid 10 dollars to do this because i thought my other blog would show up in place of my wordpress.com blog but it is the other way around. Can I get my 10 dollars back? I have absolutely no use for this service. If it had been clearly explained that it was just redirecting my URL to my wordpress.com blog I wouldn’t have bothered trying it. I want the opposite, my wordpress.com address forwarding elsewhere.

If you go to your domains portion of your blog videodoll, you can check the ‘place blog here’ button beside your domain and everything will be directed to your domain name. It will work the way you want, just do that.

Oh dear, I think we have now strayed away from the topic of this thread.One of the most common questions that volunteers on the wordpress.com support forum answer everyday is: “How do I edit the wordpress.com theme?”
The answer is:
At wordpress.com we are on a shared multiuser blogging platform. The reason no individual user can be allowed to edit the underlying template for their theme, is that doing so, would likewise effect all other blogs with the same theme.Personalizing Your Blog
There are three options.
(1) You can choose to use one of the themes made available at wordpress.com through your admin section -> Dashboard -> Presentation -> Themes
(2) You can choose to undertake css customizing a wordpress.com theme or making one of your own.
(3) Or, you can choose move to self hosting by downloading and altering a free wordpress.org template to suit.WordPress Options
(1) You can edit your theme’s style sheet or create one of your own to personalize the appearance of your blog, only if you purchase an upgrade and undertake css customization yourself. (For more detailed information see CSS Customization Upgrade below.(2) If you don’t purchase the upgrade, you can choose a theme from the admin area of your blog -> Dashboard -> Presentation -> Many themes provide for a customized a header and, sidebar widgets allow for posting of unique images, etc. to personalize your blog. Note that if you do not opt for the css upgrade then this link has information on point for you to read. Also take note that we are not allowed to use javascript, iframes, forms, some media embeds and styles, etc. for for security reasons.
(3) Although some themes at wordpress.org and wordpress.com may appear to be the same they are not; the software is different. The “please read me first before posting” sticky at the head of the wp support forum outlines the differences between blogs hosted by wordpress at wordpress.com and self-hosted wordpress.org software.
CSS Customization Upgrade
The 15$ you pay to upgrade a wordpress.com blog enables you to to alter the appearance of your theme and but not the underlying php code. Purchasing the upgrade entitles you to customize css on one blog for one year.
The upgrade is not recommended to bloggers who do not have css customization experience. Although there is a forum and other bloggers may volunteer to help you if needs be, there is no staff support provided for learning css customization.
Css customization can be used to improve on any existing theme; you can define your own classes for use in posts; you can select the Sandbox theme and build on one of the Minimalist layouts or, opt for no stylesheet and do it all yourself. If you feel you are up to the challenge of customizing a theme then these link , link , link will be helpful. There are also css resources that you can access listed in the FAQs blog.

trent, I tried that, it put my wordpress blog on my other domain which is pointless. I want the other site to be the default.

This is what it says in my options:
celebsnow.wordpress.com Your blog URL September 30, 2006 Never N/A
celebsnow.net Redirecting to celebsnow.wordpress.com (Put blog here) June 9, 2007 June 9, 2008 N/A (external NS)see, it will only allow me to redirect my URL to wordpress. Not what I want. I have emailed wordpress 2 or 3 times about this with no response. Guess I lose my 10 dollars. I put my old NS back because I don’t want the wordpress site showing up when I go to celebsnow.net. I think this would make the transition easier but it actually did nothing and cost 10 dollars. I am pretty upset about it.
