  I’m about to purchase my blog’s web domain, but we’re not a company. We’re a non-prof and i’d like that to be reflected in the domain as a .org. It only gives me the option for .com. Is there a way around this?

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

  You should check to make sure the .org hasn’t already been registered. You should otherwise be able to use it; if I recall, there’s a drop down menu that allows you to select .com or whatever you want.

  Thanks raincoaster for the response, but i don’t see that dropdown menu. To make sure we’re talking about the same page, i’ve gotten to this page via Dashboard>Store>Domains. Is there another place where i can buy the domain and find that dropdown menu?

  I just checked it and it has changed, but the prompt in the Learn More pop up box has http:// and then blanks, so you can fill in .org or whatever you want. Try that.
