HI –

If I map my wordpress.com blog to my own domain name, will my posts still be advertised on wordpress.com? What services / products / support, if any, will I lose by mapping it to my own domain name?

Thanks

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

“What services / products / support, if any, will I lose by mapping it to my own domain name?”

None. You lose a minor amount of SEO but otherwise it all functions the same. You do start over again with Google and Technorati in terms of blog ranking: they old URL, which still works, keeps its old ranking while the new URL has to start again from zero. You should be caught up more or less within four months, allowing for the slight drop of Googlejuice I mentioned above.

Thanks. Will my posts continue to be advertised and shown on wordpress’ dashboard and stuff?

Yes. Also: domain mapping does not exempt you from the terms of service. Some people think it means they can suddenly add advertising or edit their CSS or whatever, and this is not the case. Each upgrade here applies absolutely only to the thing it says it applies to.
