  I’m not at this. I opened a WordPress account not really understanding what I was doing. The next day I went on BlueHost and secured the Domain name that I really wanted to use. The one that I really want to use is sotakeamoment.com. The one that started shortly on WordPress is called takeamomentdotblog.wordpress.com. I really want to use my original idea for the domain sotakeamoment.com. How can I fix this?

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

  Hi @crs40,
  You can map your domain which you bought via BlueHost to your WordPress.com site.

  Follow the instructions given here to map your domain:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  After, you have mapped your domain, make sure the domain sotakeamoment.com is set as a primary domain for your site. This ensures that your visitors will always see sotakeamoment.com on the browsers address bar even if they try to reach your site using takeamomentdotblog.wordpress.com.

  Follow the instructions given here to set a primary domain:

  Hope this helps :)
