  I see one version of my blog when I am in wordpress, and another version when I visit my site, http://www.nativeremarks.com. I transferred my http://www.nativeremarks.wordpress.com blog to http://www.nativeremarks.com, but I think I might have left a step out. Can you help me please? I used to have a wordpress blog under another name, I think. I think the information from the older blog is mixed up with the information from the current blog.

  The two are entirely separate.

  http://www.nativeremarks.com/ is your self-hosted blog.

  http://nativeremarks.wordpress.com/ is your blog hosted at WordPress.com.

  If you want to delete your WordPress.com blog, you can following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Thank you for your help. I meant to transfer my wordpress blog (Nativeremarks) to Godaddy hosting, which is my domain, http://www.nativermarks.com.
  I think if I delete the nativeremarks blog at wordpress, I will lose everything from WordPress, correct?
  I write my posts when I sign into http://www.wordpress.com.

  I like the nativeremarks.wordpress appearance, but I also want the address http://www.nativeremarks.com.

  Hi there,

  The two sites are separate from each other. Deleting one won’t affect the other.

  If you’re just trying to use the domain with your WordPress.com blog, you could map it:
  http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  That way, when users enter the domain name, they’ll be taken to your blog at http://nativeremarks.wordpress.com/
