   Hi all,

   I currently host a blog on WordPress.com but I am looking to move up.

   I have bought the domain from GoDaddy.com and synced it with WordPress.com (therefore eliminating the 'wordpress' name from my site's address).

   I have the basic questions for a newcomer...

   Do I buy the host and then type in MY domain?

   Will my site automatically switch over?

   I will continue to edit my blog like I do now (in terms of controls, editing, imaging, etc.)?

   I just need the CORRECT steps to get started. Thank you in advance.

   synced it with WordPress.com?

   You mean you have the domain name you bought redirect to your WP.com site?

   You want to by hosting and use your own WP install, then?

   Probably start with a web search of "switching from wordpress.com to wordpress.org" and get some insight on what you're in for.

   Not a big deal, I'm sure you can figure it out, and get help hear if you get stuck.

   Geezerd,

   Thank you so much for the response! I really appreciate it.

   Yes - I redirected my WordPress.com blog to a domain that I bought.

   I will certainly Google search that as you recommended.

   Thanks again!
