  I signed up for one domain & now my dashboard shows that I have 3 seperate blogs 1 is the right name and 2 are variations. I went to delete 2 of them but it only gives me the option to delete the domain I want. I’ve searched through support & I’m really frustrated now. Please help

  Did you purchase a domain mapping upgrade?

  I think I purchased the domain mapping upgrade.

  Thank you, I really appreciate your help!

  Yes, you did. The first and third URLs are for the same blog. The middle one was a mistake, a very common mistake. Someone really needs to rewrite the instructions for the custom domain. If you don’t want a custom domain at all, just go to Dashboard->Store->Domains and ask for a refund from there.

  Thank you!

  Okay, So I want the domain http://heathersharmony.me/ which means I want (http://heathersharmony.wordpress.com/) right?
  Do I post onto http://heathersharmony.me/ and that will automatically update the wordpress URL as well?
  How do I delete (http://heathersharmonydotme.wordpress.com/) because when I go to delete it, it only give me the option of the others.

  Am I just in way over my head?

  The reason we purchase domain mapping for free hosted .wordpress.com blogs is so that all the URLs from the .wordpress.com root blog when clicked seamlessly redirect to the same content in the post under the new domain URLs.

  @Raincoaster
  How can you say that the first and third URLs are same?
  If they were same then http://heathersharmony.wordpress.com/ should redirect to http://heathersharmony.me/ but I can see both of them as different blogs. One with Twenty Eleven theme and other one with Titan.

  ORLY? Thanks for catching that. If that’s the case, she will need to contact staff to get this sorted out. Use the dashboard Help button.
