  We are a group of working on a site. One person brought the URL and another member started the wordpress side. Now we can point the URL to the wordpress site, but we can’t change the URL to just “.com”. How can we resolve this without totally shutting down the wordpress site?
  Blog url: http://urbanplaydates.wordpress.com/

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

  Thanks Timethief, but I don’t own the url and I put up the wordpress. In the link that you provided I don’t see an option for my situation. Did I miss something?

  The other person with the domain name points the name servers to WordPress.COM –

  Then you map the WordPress.COM blog to the above Domain name using the instructions below

  No need at all for the same person to own both the name and the blog
