  I purchased my domain name through WordPress.com. I would like to move my blog to Blogger but I don’t know how to get my domain name to follow me. I have been to securepay.net where my domanin is managed and have called them and I have been to Blogger to try and get info. It is all very confusing. Can anyone tell me in very simple terms what I need to do. I’m new at all this.

  Q: I purchased a domain through WordPress.com and now want to point it elsewhere. How can I do that?
  A: If you purchased the domain through WordPress.com, under Options –> Domains from your blog’s dashboard, you will see a link that says “Manage Domains”. If you click on this link you will be able to receive access to a control panel that allows you to change your domains nameservers and point it elsewhere. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/10/domain-mapping/

  There is no such button for me. No idea what happened. No link to ‘Manage Domains’. I can send a screenshot if there’s anyone out there to respond? Anyone got any ideas about where to go from here? Thanks, Ivan
