  Hi,
  I am new to WordPress and I am trying to change or hide my primary address from my blog page. The address provided was not the one I wanted (lovelyrubbishdotjonnadotcom.wordpress.com). I paid 18 dollars to have my address (lovelyrubbish-jonna.com) and not have one with .wordpress.com at the end.
  Is there a way that I can change my primary address to the lovelyrubbish-jonna.com or get refunded and start over?
  Please HELP!!
  Thanks.

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

  The domain mapping is in effect. This is not an instantaneous process and what you see is normal behavior. I’m in Canada and I see the change. It can take up to 72 hours for domain name changes to propagate throughout the internet. We have no control over when search site chooses to flush their DNS caches. You can view the process unfolding here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/

  The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General
  “save changes”
  That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed.

  By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
