   I have bought a domain name 'dodopadblog.com' and I want poeple visiting/reading the blog to be able to just type in or click on dodopadblog.com rather than dodopad.wordpress.com.

   The premium services page on wordpress tells me I need credits (or I can pay...) but I don't seem to be able to find where to go or how to go about it. I have changed the nameserver records as shown (ns1, ns2, ns3 etc.) where I registed the domain name. What do I do now - just wait? From the blurb on the wordpress site I think I'm going to have to pay - HELP!!!! thx :)

   The blog I need help with is dodopad.wordpress.com.

   Yes, you have to pay. Follow the instructions here:

   I'm not exactly clear about what your are asking. The wordpress.com navigation bar is not visible to your readers, unless they are also wordpress.com bloggers, and they are signed into wordpress.com
