  I have a domain name registered elsewhere. When asked for it, I provided it, in its entirety. Now my wordpress URL includes the com prefix. I’d like to remove it — is that possible? So, its now mydomainnamecom.wordpress.com and I’d like it to be mydomainname.wordpress.com

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

  You will need to set up Domain Mapping to use your domain with your WordPress.com site:

  Domain Mapping is included with all of the WordPress.com Plans:

  If you would like to change your WordPress.com site’s URL, there are options and instructions for doing so here:

  Please bear in mind that once changed, that site’s original WordPress.com URL will become permanently unavailable for future use by you or any other user. If you feel that you might need that URL again in the future, you might consider starting a new site with your preferred name rather than changing the name of your existing site.

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.
