Have you gone through the steps in the FAQ?

That is exactly what the domain mapping service you've been pointed to does. If you meant something else, could you explain what it is, so we can see if we can help.

I don't think what I want to do is possible. I just remember being able to do it a long time ago when I was using a different service. Guess I'll get to work on my custom website... Thanks for the help everyone! Sorry for getting an attitude in the beginning.

No, I have a domain amateurgamer.net and I basically want to mask over the wordpress urls I am directing it to.

Wasn't your question basically, "How do I take ‘wordpress’ out of my url?" Isn't that what you want to do?

I myself don't particularly like sarcasm when I'm asking for help in the forums. Then again, I DO search the FAQ first so I've never had any directed at me. But I understand how you feel. However, vivianpaige couldn't have answered your question more clearly than she did.

Oh, and thanks for the sarcasm as well.
