   Hey Everybody!

   I've had a WordPress.com site now for about 2 months: http://kickthegrind.tv

   I mostly vlog, and there are no appropriate themes offered on .com. I am trying to switch over to a WordPress.org blog so I can use a theme i purchased at press75.

   MyDomain.com hosts my domain, and they do have a auto-install for wordpress. I did just that, and now I'm being linked to kickthegrind.tv/wordpress on my old blog .com with an error message saying "Whoops! Whatever you are looking for cannot be found."

   Do I need to delete my .com site to set-up my .org site? Or did I miss a step along the way?

   http://kickthegrind.tv is your current, new, blog hosted on MyDomain.com?

   Where is the link that link to http://kickthegrind.tv/wordpress ?

   No, sorry if I wasn't clear.

   If you visit http://kickthegrind.tv right now, that is my blog hosted through WordPress.com with mydomain.com hosting the domain name. I'm unhappy with how the blog looks and I want to axe that site and set up a WordPress.org blog at the same Domain: kickthegrind.tv

   I have run the auto-wordpress set up that mydomain.com offers, so the FTP, mySQL etc.. should all have been set up automatically. I did not go through the "Famous 5min wordpress set-up".

   After the auto-install is completed, I followed the link to finalized the details and preferences at kickthegrind.tv, it leads me to http://kickthegrind.tv/wordpress with an error saying "whoops, what you're looking for cannot be found"

   I'm wondering if I need to delete my WordPress.com blog that is linked with that domain, before I try and set up a WordPress.org blog at the same place.

   Or whether I've messed something else up...

   At the moment your domain is pointing to the wrong host. You need go to mydomain.com and point your domain, kickthegrind.tv, at the nameservers of your new host.

   http://kickthegrind.tv/wordpress leads to a 404 page because you don't have a page called wordpress at your wordpress.com setup.
