Thank for the response. I've read more on domains, but I'm still having a hard time determin how or if I can upgrade my current domain name to a different name.

To explain my problem once more, my blog is currently karablythe.wordpress.com. I know I can easily upgrade to karablythe.com for $18 a month, but is it to upgrade my current blog AND change the domain (to something like karablytheABROAD.com) without having to build an entirely new blog? Or can I just map it to that new, upgraded domain?

Many thanks in advance!
Sorry, I'm a total blog newbie :)

I would like to upgrade AND slightly alter my domain name so that it reads karablytheabroard.com. Is it possible to change my domain name when I upgrade while still keeping my blog?
