I am trying to transfer my mizzmo.com domain to a new account so it will be separate from 3leons.com.

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

What is the other URL starting with http:// ?

http://mizzmo.com

I tried the transfer on the domain page – but now my website is gone.

Where did you expect to be able to transfer it too? ie what is the URL starting with http:// of the blog that you want to move the domain mapping to?

http://mizzmodot.wordpress.com

I already exported and imported my blog from http://mizzmodotcom.wordpress.com to the new account (above). Now I just need my domain name moved over.

I do not see the domain on that account. It is still showing under 3leons.com

It needs to be moved to http://mizzmodot.wordpress.com

Oh, it’s currently under mizzmodotcom.wordpress.com which is the only similar blog under your account.

I can move it to mizzmodot.wordpress.com, but I’ll need the owner of that blog to invite 3leons as an Administrator via Users -> Invite New in the blog’s Dashboard first.

Once that’s done, I’ll move the domain, and you can then remove 3leons from the users list.

Okay – that is done. Can you also move mizzmodotcom.wordpress.com over as well?

Ok, I have moved http://mizzmo.com/ to mizzmodot.wordpress.com as requested.

For mizzmodotcom.wordpress.com, you can transfer that following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

Okay, so I have moved mizzmodotcom.wordpress.com over to the mizzmodot account. Now how do I get the domain mizzmo.com to point to the mizzmodotcom.wordpress.com and get rid of mizzmodot?

Also, how do I change my user name from mizzmodot back to mizzmo? WordPress says that is already taken – but I transferred it according to the instructions in the guide you gave me.

Thank you for all of your help!

mizzmo is a username registered here back in 2009, so you won’t be able to change your username to that.
