  Hi,

  I just bought a domain from WordPress.com (perfectly-ridiculous.com) and I also own a wordpress blog (literalinterpretations.wordpress.com).. When clicked, I would want my domain to redirect users to the blog WITHOUT mentioning literalinterpretations.wordpress.com as the URL..Is that possible?

  It will be great to hear from someone

  Thanks,
  A

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

  I think you need “Domain Mapping”

  As kansir says, you need the domain mapping upgrade here to have your wordpress.COM site appear under your new domain name.

  After the mapping, it can take up to 24 hours for the domain name change to make it through all the internet nameservers and how soon it will appear for you is entirely dependent on how often your ISP updates their nameservers.

  You do not want to “redirect.” Read the support document that @kansir referenced and it will explain how to set up the domain mapping.

  Ok.. I updated the primary blog and it worked! I have another question pertaining to the domain..

  I had registered for another wordpress.com blog under my username. Would it be possible to show both blogs under the same domain? or it would require hosting?

  Please help :)
