I see this: "You don't currently have any active subscriptions on WordPress.com, If you would like to customize your sites look or feel, or add a custom domain, you should consider purchasing an upgrade in our Store."

When I go to store though it gives me the first option to add a domain, and if I go through it, I can enter it but it gives me the same thing, "Oh no! zachsirmons.com is already registered." or whatever.

I really appreciate the advice and the help for what it is worth!

"Oh no! zachsirmons.com is already registered.

If you own this domain you can map it to your site by following the instructions below. If you don’t own this domain, go back and try another domain name."

it says I own it, but where the heck to I gain access to it then? Its apparently removed from wordpress, every time I type http://www.zachsirmons.com in my URL it says "Error: Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found."

Gah I really feel like I fd this up.

I happened to $@&^#^ delete the whole domain because I was confused, thinking I had just made a whole new website, but only wanted it to redirect to my WordPress site.

Anyhow, I just deleted my domain name that I just bought not even an hour ago. As dumb as I feel, I want it back, but how long would I have to wait in order to re-purchase zachsirmons.com again?

I feel so dumb, and I'm a noob, so go easy on me.

So I have the beautiful Autofocus theme for my website, but for some reason, half way scrolling down the front page, the images stop being in a 'mosaic' style (i.e stacked together) and instead are one story per row. If you go to the website (www.vikingsinlondon.wordpress.com) and scroll down you'll see what I mean.

I've been trying to figure it out, but can't for the life of me. Any help is really, really appreciated.

Our search widget allows readers to search your posts and pages, so if you had a list of pianos on a page, someone could find content on that page with the search box in the widget.

We don't have a way to customize a search beyond that, however.

Just find the category you wish to select a parent for, and then click on edit. Then select the Parent you want, and press save. This should still work even though there are posts already.

If it doesn't, then you could create another category, with the parent already added, and then just add the posts to that category (though you'll have to be careful about it turning into "category x-2").
