  I already owned my own domain so chose to redirect and also chose the upgrade for $99. The $99 charge is pending at my bank, but my site still shows as .wordpress.com.

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

  Hi there, I’m seeing your domain suebeeandkat.com on your WordPress.com site here:

  http://suebeeandkat.com/

  If you’re not seeing that yet, could you please try clearing your browser cache? Let me know how it goes!

  Thank you. My site now shows as SueBeeandKat.com. I’m confused, though. The footer on my site still shows as “Blog at WordPress.com. Customized Suburbia Theme.” I thought by upgrading to Premium and having a .com my domain name would be in the footer, not WordPress information. That’s how I understood it would be, and that’s how it was with my Weebly site.

  I appreciate your assistance as I can’t find an answer in the forums.

  Hi there, the footer credit is required to be displayed according to our terms of service:
  http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

  Note that even sites hosted through our VIP program, such as the TED blog, display a credit to WordPress.com in the footer.
  (See the bottom of http://blog.ted.com/ for an example)

  Just let me know if you have any other questions.
