Mine does something similar, but it adds "blog" to the front.

New URLs: If you add domain mapping to an existing blog with posts, their URL’s will change. We’ll redirect any visitors looking for the old URL’s over to the new ones, so none of your visitors will get lost out there on the internet, but other services won’t always understand that the old links and the new links point to the “same” place. For example, Tweet counter widgets work based on particular URL’s, so old posts’ counts will be reset to 0. Once you make the change, future posts will not be affected. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/#important-notes-before-upgrading

noob question.

I have a free blog: jmichaelmelican.wordpress.com
I want to remove the "wordpress" (no offence ;)

If I register the domain jmichaelmelican.com ($26 with privacy feature) will my blog automatically be at that new address? What will happen to people who have followed or favourited my old address?

Thanks
