  I’m running my blog http://thelitterateurs.wordpress.com. It’s got a good following. A year back, I asked my friend to register a domain name ‘thelitterateurs.com’. He did it for me and I began to export all my posts from my blog to the new wordpress site ‘thelitterateurs.com’. Now, the problem is – my blog followers have been following the same blog and it’s traffic is quite good. On the other hand, the site with my own domain is not having good traffic and a very few number of people seem to find it. So, I’m thinking of using the same domain ‘thelitterateurs.com’ for my wordpress blog which is right now ‘thelitterateurs.wordpress.com’. Of course, it will then replace the site I’m running right now. Is that possible? How to do that?

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

  All you have to do is buy the domain mapping upgrade and change the nameservers. Here are the instructions: http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
