I'd rather stick to blogger and become independent of wordpress.

How do I go about changing the name server or transferring the domain name to blogger and is it free?

Thanks

You should have renewed the name and then changed the name servers to blogger or transferred the domain name to another registrar

The WordPress domain name has now expired but I can't use it as a custom domain on Blogger yet. Is there any way I can unregister the blog domain name rather than waiting for it to get put back in the register?

Please help, losing traffic and visitors due to this!
