  Purchased ezwordpress4u.com, just set the domain DNS to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM (2 and 3) but get
  The domain name you entered cannot be mapped to a WordPress.com blog.
  Is that because i have the words wordpress in the domain name?

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

  I’m hoping that it isn’t because WP won’t allow and that I’m just not getting the steps right.

  Hi lindyfly2014

  Yes, I’m afraid so. There isn’t a workaround; you’d need to use a different domain to set up mapping.

  Thank you very much. I thought that might be it (after I’d purchased ofcourse). So I did do EZwebsites4U.com and will play on that. Thank you again for your prompt response! Cheers Lindy Flynn
