  Good afternoon

  I was jut wondering whether someone could tell me how to turn my blog’s URL into a domain name? I tell you why.

  I have just put http://johnwelsh.wordpress.com into PageRank and, although I have over 450 links in and out of the site, it says I have no PageRank because I do nothave a domain.

  So, first question is how do I change my wordpress url into johncwelsh.com (johnwelsh.com has already gone!)?

  Second question, do I lose all the links I have acquired over the past six months? Does it mean people who have bookmarked me will no longer find me? What about my RSS feeds?

  Thank you so very much in advance.

  Cheers

  John Welsh

  The second question will have to wait for someone who is more familiar with domain mapping.
