  I have registered and purchased hippiedou.com under my business web host service (1&1), and would like to upgrade my blog to this url to be able to add affiliate products etc. But I want to keep the same template Im using right now. What should I do? Would the mapping option work? or is there another kind of upgrade service required? HELP please!

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

  First of all read this about using affiliate marketing in WordPress.com
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/

  You can buy the domain map upgrade so that hippiedou.com will point to hippiedou.wordpress.com

  If you want to transfer your WordPress.com blog over to your hosting provider read this guide:

  Finally the theme you are currently using in WordPress.com is available for use in any self-hosted WordPress installation from here:
