I'm pretty web-savvy, and I don't get it. I'm with you, Lowell. Dr. Mike, a little more detail, please?
Thanks, Don

Good try though. They could do it as a subdomain like blog.lowelltinfellphotography.com and you would have to do a CNAME on your end for that subdomain. It would be the $10 price point per year. If you follow the link on the Dashboard -> Upgrades -> Domain page, (I can't open up another page here so I can't give you the actual link) it talks about doing this.

Do remember though that the ToS prevents you from using your blog hosted here at wp.com to actually sell anything.

Hope this helps,

1. Go to your Dashboard.
2. Options
3. Domains
4. Type http://www.lowelltindellphotography.com/blog in the box.

This is a guess from me, while Support is offline now (I guess that its their night time there).

Anyway, sorry if it does not work.

I would like to creat a blog that has the url http://www.lowelltindellphotography.com/blog. What do I need to do to set up this scenario? Does everything happen on the wordpress.com side, or do I need to have my web site host do something? Is this a mapping issue? A redirect issue?

Thanks,
Lowell
