  I want to start a blog but, not use my real name and use a domain I already own. Can I do with your site?

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

  Absolutely. You do not need to use your real name or information when you create an account at WordPress.com.

  You can use a domain you have already purchased with your WordPress.com site with the Domain Mapping upgrade. There are instructions here:

  Remember that unless you started with Private Registration of your domain name, your real name will be out on the internet associated with the custom domain name.

  Auxclass is correct. However, that domain privacy is not anything that we at WordPress.com can help you with if you have your domain registered elsewhere. You will need to purchase a private registration upgrade at your current domain registrar.
