  Hello:

  I have gone round the block one more time,

  From links outside my account

  https://workingbuddhadotcom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&update=makeprimaryblog

  workingbuddha.com

  workingbuddhadotcom.wordpress.com

  When I log in to my account I get this:

  http://workingbuddha.wordpress.com/ as the only domain listed

  And all of my updates are there, where as
  workingbuddha.com

  comes up blank…

  when I try to map my own domain I get this:

  https://workingbuddha.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&update=redirectused

  I seem to have two blogs at wordpress.com:

  http://workingbuddhadotcom.wordpress.com

  http://workingbuddha.wordpress.com

  I have the feeling I am lost in space here…

  Lost in Space with company! Want to change from (?map ?domain change ?don’t know where to start for fear of where it will lead . . . ) wordpress.com to owndomain.com
  Good luck and will keep track of your progress.

  Yours sincerely,

  one ignorant tech blogger who, cowering in the back of the class, lives in fear of timethief’s spectacular knowledge!

  @1950redwing
  What can I say? I flagged this thread yesterday and assume you contacted Staff … SIGH Given the problems others have had, I wonder if this has anything to do with where you are situate.

  Hi Timethief..

  actually I am in BC too, in Vancouver…

  I had noticed there were issues with this and the support folks have given up with me..

  maybe I should just use a wordpress domain??

  hard to understand! If you already have your own domain http://workingbuddha.com/ why do you need to convert it to a sub domain of wordpress? For me I think you can keep the http://workingbuddha.com/ and then if you want a wordpress account, just create a new one.

  Support have transferred my domain to my blog and now all I need to do is get rid of :

  https://workingbuddhadotcom.wordpress.com

  which strangely does not appear on my domain page..

  but otherwise everything is good now and I can start learning how to be here,,,,,:-)

  thanks for all the help..

  @Stephen
  I’m so happy to hear that Staff have helped you. Staff have prepared a step by step tutorial and you will find the link to it on the bottom of your Admin page. http://learn.wordpress.com/ I hope you experience “smooth sailing” from here on. Best wishes with your blog. :)

  I hope so..

  I am now trying to get rid of :

  https://workingbuddhadotcom.wordpress.com

  which some how got set up when I first signed on. I have never been able to access it so it will have to be a support fix…

  I am really surprised at the amount of issues there is on this forum, I was told WordPress was the best, well maybe it is but what does that mean for the rest out there…:-)

  all the best,

  Stephen

  workingbuddhadotcom.wordpress.com is actually an entirely separate blog, not necessarily a domain.

  You can delete it following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/

  As for all the issues here, keep in mind that this is a support forum. It’s supposed to be full of issues. ;)

  Also keep in mind that there are 15,000,000 blogs here, so the amount of posts on these forums is actually a minute percentage.
