 * Where did you install wordpress?
 * Are you talking about a wordpress.com (meaning hosted) blog, or you mean you 
   downloaded and installed wordpress on your own server?
 * If you installed it on your own server, who did you get the server from? They
   can give you the IP address and should be able to help you point a domain name
   to the install.

 * Is this at home, or are you using it from a hosted provider?
 * If it is at home, you’ll need to use what is called a Dynamic DNS service to 
   hook it up to a regular domain name. (see [http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/](http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/)
   for more info)
 * If it is a server provided by a web hosting service, talk to their support on
   how to register a domain name with their servers.
 * Honestly, this question has nothing to do with WordPress, and everything to do
   with web hosting. I don’t say that to be rude, but rather to let you know that
   the folks on this board don’t have any of the information that you’ll need in
   order to be able to guide you through that process.
 * Posting the question here is a bit like asking a tire manufacturer why your transmission
   doesn’t work. 🙂 hehe No harm done though – I’m just trying to help you get a
   quick answer.
 * Best of luck to you…
 * Cheers,
    A
