  Hi. I own the domain cemich.com. I have linked it to my WordPress account and I have tested it and it works fine. Entering cemich.com as an address in a browser goes directly to cemich.wordpress.com. So I now it works fine but any visitor will see the address cemich.wordpress.com. I want them to see cemich.com. I am more than happy to have logos, references and anything else showing that I am using WordPress but I want the address to just be cemich.com. How do I do that??

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

  You need to go to your Domains page on the Dashboard and set it as Primary.

  You will have to purchase the domain mapping upgrade. The following support document explains how to map an existing domain name you own to your blog here.

  I thought you were running?

  Which reminds me, another nickname for you: Runcoaster.

  I was supposed to, but I had to stay in and clean things. The apartment owner is returning tomorrow.

  In bonus news, instead of sharing a 1br with her next month, I’ve found a place that’s slightly cheaper, has free wifi, my own room in a shared house with a bunch of hippies and dogs, significantly closer to work. YAY! And the woman who lives there runs a spa, so I’m gonna do a social media training/spa services swap.

  Yeah, I think I’m gonna like this town after all.
