  When I comment on a blog using my WordPress account, my picture and name have different links. My picture links to my Gravatar account, which is correct. However, my name links to a domain that I registered with WordPress. I don’t use the domain and am waiting for it to expire. I have done everything to try and remove the link, but nothing works. HELP!!

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

  Hello there, Michael!

  Can you tell me the name of the domain you’re trying to remove? I’d like to do a search for it throughout your WordPress.com account data.

  Thanks much!

  Hiya Michael,

  I do see that domain on your site. It expires in March 2015, so it’s probably best for you to get ride of it, if you no longer plan to use it, and it’s just getting in your way.

  I can cancel this for you, but here is some important information, I’d like you to read before making a decision:

  If we cancel your domain, it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and we can’t guarantee that your domain will be available to you again once canceled.

  If you want to keep using your domain but you don’t want to use WordPress.com anymore, you don’t have to cancel it. Instead, you can move the domain to another site, using the Domain Administration tool under Store > My Domains in your dashboard.

  For more information on using the domain elsewhere, please see:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/

  However, if you don’t want this domain at all, let me know and I will cancel michael-johnson.org. I just wanted you to have the full scoop before deciding how to proceed.

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

  I sincerely apologize!! I thought I responded to this — I don’t think I ever clicked the “Submit” button. Yes, I completely understand that this will cancel michael-johnson.org. I have no intention of using it again. Thank you!
