    My wordpress address is EX3.wordpress.com

    I want to do the following. . . is this possible:
    1- Map my EX3.wordpress.com to EX3.com (Assume I can do this through domain mapping, I have read this )
    But I want to also want to do this at the same time…..
    2- Map EX3.wordpress.com to blog.EX1.com
    AND
    3- Map EX3.wordpress.com to blog.EX2.com

    Is this possible? how many upgrades does this cost? Any help is appreciated.

    Every domain mapping upgrade is priced the same and is for one blog and for one year only. There is no three for one deal.

    While you can map as many domains as you want to one blog, each Domain Mapping Upgrade can be used with one domain only. You can’t switch to a different domain later during the upgrade period. To map a different domain, you can purchase another upgrade.

    Just to confirm.

    I will purchase a domain mapping for Ex #1
    I will purchase TWO more domain mappings for Subdomain mapping, correct?

    Will domain mapping effect my purchased theme upgrade?

    I read that I will not be able to use Linen if my blog does not contain wordpress.com in URL.. is this correct or incorrect?

    I asked for a refund for the Linen purchase through a support contact form but I may not need one.

    THANKS

    If the main domain name is mapped here, then yes you can also map subdomains of that domain to other blogs here. This was from a conversation with staff on this subject.

    The user will pretty much follow the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-subdomain/ , but instead of the code in step 1, enter CNAME blog example.wordpress.com in the Edit DNS panel at Upgrades -> Domains on the TLD’s blog.

    After setting up the CNAME records on the main domain management panel then you can go to the individual blogs, enter they subdomain URL (subdomain.main.com) and then follow the instructions. You do that with each in turn and purchase the mapping for each.

    And actually I think I’m wrong on the above. As long as the main domain is mapped here you do not have to add the CNAME records. All you have to do is go through domain mapping stuff for each blog you want as a subdomain.

    The blogs all have to be under the same username/account though.
