I will bring this to the team for consideration.

If you need further help, just let us know.

Okay. If I post an Ideas thread it will likely sink like stone and go unoticed so I'm tagging this thread instead.

@Staff
Will you please consider creating a sub-forum strictly for domain issues?

I'm thinking I ought to suggest to Staff that they ought to create a sub-forum that strictly for domain issues. What say you?

Once your domain name is registered you can domain map it using the instructions below

I paid the $13.00, but it seems that is to map the name to the wordpress.com site, not to actually register it. How do i register it? It is still available on godaddy.com
thanks
Dena Hudey
