I currently have a domain on private hosting, and email is hosted at google... that requires a small file to be in the root directy of the site... I cant see that being possible here... anyone know what to do?

If you later want to go back to the old standard wordpress.com URL, it is very simple to do so.

Once you enter the domain name, and wordpress verifies that it is available, then in one of the steps you are presented with a page to pay for the domain and domain mapping. Once that is done and the process is complete, it will take anywhere from several hours to 24 for the new domain name to show up on your blog and in rare instances it may take longer - up to 72. There is no way to speed up the propagation process. It takes as long as it takes, but typically 24 hours or less.

Your old URL should still work fine, but it will take around 24 for the custom domain show up and be stable.

I was working on it fine setting it up and wanted to aim my domain name I already had. I did the research and changed the DNS setting to WordPress settings and that was fine. Then I went into the dashboard and went to settings, general and saw there where there was the current URL that my company set me up with. So, I changed it to my domain name on both spots and, the whole site disappeared, and I cant get back on to change anything. After all that, I just found out I can't do the domain name and have to pay $12. but I can't get on the site to do it, yikes!

I also have other things I couldn't do, like how do you connect your pictures you uploaded to the page. It ask for a URL. Well I would appreciate any help.
Thank you

Which one would the internet name servers know to link to?

You will have to have a different domain name for the second blog, and pay for domain mapping on that one.

An alternative is to combine both blogs.

Another alternative would be to see if it would be possible to map the second blog to a subdomain of the first URL (blog2.example.com). For this, you will have to ask staff directly though as I have no idea if it will work or not. They will be back from their "walkabout" on the 16th.

I'll tag this thread in case they wander by the forums and care to answer here.
