  I’d like to use my own domain and place the blog under a sub-directory.
  such as http://www.example.com/blog
  Is that possible?

  Thanks for your help

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

  Hello there!

  You can indeed use a subdirectory which would look like this:
  blog.example.com

  The sample that you gave (http://www.example.com/blog) would be a folder not a subdomain.

  You cannot map a WordPress.com site to a folder.

  Here are instructions on mapping a subdomain:

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
