  Hi lfo1962!

  To remove “.wordpress” from your site address, you will need to upgrade to one of the WordPress.com paid Plans. Once you upgrade, you will receive a domain credit to purchase a domain (so long as the address is available). If you already have the domain allanowendesign.com purchased, you will be able to map the existing domain to your WordPress.com site.

  Please let me know if you have any questions.

  Thank you!
  Tonya

  There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started

  WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.
