  I made a typo in the wordpress domain I set up – hideandseekrecipes.wordpress.com, I meant to type hideandsneakrecipes. I’ve now purchased the domain hideandsneakrecipes.com independently but wondered whether I could update the wordpress domain to hideandsneakrecipes.wordpress.com?

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

  Hi there,

  You can change a site address ending in wordpress.com by following the steps here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Please note that the final step in changing your site address allows you to keep or discard the old address. If you are changing your site address so that you can use the address for a new site, please be sure to keep the old address.

  However, since you have a domain mapping, your readers won’t be able to see the domain: hideandseekrecipes.wordpress.com as they would be automatically redirected to hideandsneakrecipes.com.

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
