now google is penalizing me for a broken link. Is there anyway to do a redirect in wordpress.com to get around this issue?

This is the new, custom URL. The old url (now broken) is: http://mygirlfundreviews.com/is-mygirlfund-a-scam-factual-review/

You are right, that should have read google penalized me FOR a broken link. Thanks for the quick response!

My current blog has a custom url, and I would intend to get a custom url for the new blog as well. However, before I go purchasing another domain name I thought that I should check that a custom url will be sufficient for me to be able to use wordpress.com in China.

Also, if this won't help me to get around the firewall issue, would it help matters any if I were to start using wordpress.org?

So, the honest and truthful thing for Automattic to do is disclose that the custom domain option only applies to the HTML URL, not the images or files therein.

All images uploaded on your blog are served through our content distribution network (CDN), which includes WordPress.com in the URL. Unfortunately, there's no way to change this at this time. If you don't want your images to include the wordpress.com URL, you will need to host your images manually using a third-party host, or migrate your blog to a self-hosted WordPress.org blog.

Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.

Best,
P.

I paid the money to get my own domain, yet the images still have wordpress.com in them.
How do i fix this?
It means the images are blocked in China, and when/if i change to my own domain, all links to previous images will be dead.
Clearly not ideal

http://11213.org/example is the URL structure for static pages, not dynamic tag and category pages.

You can hide the blog page completely using Custom Menus and a static front page.

The software automatically creates the URL and automatically posts it to the dynamic Categories pages we assigned to the post when we publish the post.

We cannot edit the dynamic Categories pages created by the software and we cannot manipulate URLs on free hosted wordpress.com blogs.
This is an example of the syntax:
http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/category/better-blogging/
http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/tag/keywords/

We can create a custom menu and we can add the dynamic Categories pages and/or Tags pages created by the software to it.
