  Hello, I already have a domain name purchased, as well as a working website using weebly.com. I would like to use Word Press simply for my blog that I will be attaching to my website. Is there a recurring fee in order to do this? I am also interested in purchasing a Premium Template (probably Photolia). Would this be a one time purchase or would there be an recurring fees associated with this purchase? Please help me to understand this, so that I can proceed with a template purchase as soon as possible. And can you be refunded if you do not like how the template looks?

  Thanks,
  Shauna Maschmann

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

  All premium theme purchases are one time purchases and yes you can get a refund. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. To register a WordPress.com blog see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  NOTE: WordPress.com does not provide an email service for domains. See here for adding email http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

  Refunds
  Provided you are logged in under the same username account that purchased the upgrades, you ought to be able to request a refund from your dashboard > Store > My Upgrades

  WordPress.com provides a 30-day refund on all upgrades except Domain Registrations, Domain Renewals, http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/cancel-domain/ and Guided Transfers.

  Note: It takes from 1 – 2 weeks for the refund to be received.

  Also note that at Tools -> Import in your blog’s Dashboard, there are a variety of import options for your content. If Weebly has an export format which matches one of our import options, you can use that. Otherwise contact Weebly at http://support.weebly.com/support/index.php?pg=request
