  how do I speak with someone at WordPress? I’d really like to speak with a human if possible. I have questions about what it all means.

  Hi mkoenig514:
  Thanks for getting back to me. Okay, I took the screen shot and posted in my media library. I can suppose you can access that.
  So if I buy the domain thingy, am I still a member of WordPress? That’s the part I’m uncertain about. You know, how it all works. I do need to get additional space for posting images so, is additional space a separate issue from the domain thingy?
  Sorry for being so un-techy here. I am a technoNeanderthal. My problem and I admit that readily.
  respectfully,
  skulz

  That’s a normal notice, more like an ad really.

  You’ll still be a WordPress.com member with all the same features, just with a domain name too. Think of the domain name as a fancy new coat for your blog.

  Thank you macmanx. I get it. Now, all I’ve got to do is convince by banker.
