    My ex and I finally settled our custody battle over my domain name. I own http://www.linzness.com through Go Daddy.

    I am trying to add it to my WP account, but nothing is working. He told me it should be free to use the CMS from wordpress.org since WP is Open Source.

    The only option I see is to map my domain for $13. What can I do?

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

    There is no domain mapping upgrade for linzness.com. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping from your free hosted WordPress.COM blog URL to it.

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. To register a WordPress.com blog see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

    If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

    See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
