    I ahve broght my Domain name – mummyem.co.uk and don’t know where I go from here. I use the free wordpress mummyemblog.co.uk and do not want to loose everything I have worked on.

    How do I incorporate everything together? Ideally I would like to keep my original site but have my new domain name.
    is that even possible?

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

    Hi @mummyemblog,

    If I correctly understand, you want to use your newly bought domain(mummyemblog.co.uk) with your free WordPress.com site(mummyemblog.wordpress.com). 

    How do I incorporate everything together? Ideally I would like to keep my original site but have my new domain name.
is that even possible?

    Yes, it is possible to Map your external domain to your existing WordPress.com site. You would need a Paid Plan to be able to use the service. One’s you buy a plan you can go to MySites->Domains and map your domain. Here is the support document explaining the details further:

    Hope this helps, please feel free to get back to me for any further questions.
