  Hello,
  We are no longer using our wordpress.com site and have a new one (built with wordpress) at a standard url.
  We would like for any traffic to our wordpress.com site to be automatically redirected to the new site.. simple right?

  The instructions in the help seem intended for something else..

  How is this done?

  Thanks!

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

  the problem is: in the link above by raincoaster, wordpress asks ‘are you leaving wordpress?’ . I got similar problem. I want to redirect my blog to a new blog here at wordpress. like: http://abcdef.wordpress.com to http://abcdef.com both here at wordpress.com. Not the reverse.
  so anyone clicking “abcdef.wordpress.com” is immediately redirected to ‘abcdef.com’ and sees http://abcdef.com at the address bar.
  Is it possible? Any ideas? Thanks.

  You cannot redirect blog1.wordpress.com to blog2.wordpress.com.

  If you have purchase a domain name, then you can map that domain to a blog here so that it will show up in the address bar.
