Thanks so much! I am brand spanking new to blogging and to WordPress, but I am already a fan. Now I have to go school myself in how to work this thing. :) Thanks again.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance!

I do want to cancel oakparkmarriagetherapist.com... BUT ONLY if I can still have the free domain that prompted me to do this. If that is possible, then I will accept the offer and cancel oakparkmarriagetherapist.com, and use oakparkmarriagetherapy.com instead. If I would lose the free domain for some reason, then I will just have to leave it as-is. Please let ME know how to proceed now. Thanks so much!

Please let us know how you'd like to proceed!

What happened was that when I bought the bundle for chicagomft.com, it told me that they were giving me a special offer of a free domain for 1 year, regularly $18, I think. So I accepted the offer and without thinking enough about it, called it oakparkmarriagetherapist.com - for the purpose of just mapping it (is that the right word) to mft.org. But then I realized it would be better to have -therapy.com.

http://oakparkmarriagetherapist.wordpress.com is a URL for a sub-domain that doesn’t exist

http://oakparkmarriagetherapist.com is a URL for a domain that exists but it's redirecting to this domain http://http://chicagomft.com/

I have flagged this thread for Staff assistance with sorting this. Please be patient while waiting for their help.

The top level domain here is wordpress.com and all blogs here are free hosted on .wordpress.com sub-domains. We can purchase a domain through WordPress.com in two ways:

1. a domain mapping upgrade

2. a bundle upgrade which includes a domain mapping upgrade in it

The free domain is oakparkmarriagetherapist. Now I am wishing I would have called it oakparkmarriagetherapy. I am still in the 48 hours to cancel. Does anyone know if I will still get a "free" domain if I cancel this first one? Or am I going to have to pay? Or, even better, is there a way to change the one I already have, rather than cancel and re-setup?
