 * no, i set up a wordpress.com account a (first time blogger) i didn’t realise (
   or fully read the TOS) that i wasn’t allowed any commercial links, so my blog
   was banned.
 * however i’s already brought the domain name and i’d directed [http://www.headphonedeals.com](http://www.headphonedeals.com)
   to my wordpress.com account.
 * o.k. are you with me?
 * i started [http://www.headphonedelas.com](http://www.headphonedelas.com) using
   the typepad service, redirected my domain name to typepad, and bingo i’ve got
   a blog.
 * i now want to use wordpress.org, via hostgator, fantastico and all that.
 * when i signed up for the hostgator hosting service it asks if you already have
   a domain name, hwich i have.
 * i went to cpanel > fantastico > install wordpress.
 * the doamin name is already in the proper info boxes. when i go to the ‘finish
   installation’ page, and then hit the “visit site” button, it refers me back to
   this page

 * i used wordpress.com and i violated a TOS, i diidn’t really know the differnce
   between wordpress.org and wordpress.com back then.
 * [http://www.headphonedeals.com](http://www.headphonedeals.com)
 * i’ve just signed up for hostgator, and i thought all would be o.k.
 * i’m desperate to move my blog over to wordpress, because typepad is a bit limiting.
 * will i have to change the domain name, start again, and choke it down to experience?
