  You don’t need to buy a premium account. Just register greymatterconstruction.wordpress.com and from the dashboard of that blog, buy the Domain Mapping upgrade. Instructions are here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  You’re welcome. Working with domains is fiddly, but take it one step at a time and you’ll be fine. I always try to remember that it’s not as important to UNDERSTAND the steps as to simply FOLLOW them. And it can take up to 72 hours after doing the mapping for the DNS to settle down, so expect it to take awhile to work properly. There’s no way around it.
