    I’m new to this whole thing so I’m sorry if this is a dumb question. When I signed up, it says that it’s $18 to buy a domain name of “.com”. How can I pay for that without going premium?

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

    Hi there,
    All upgrades can be purchased individually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. Please be clear on that.

    As you now have that underlying .wordpress.com blog you can proceed to purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

    Make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
