Internally xyz.com is mapped to xyz.wordpress.com, so in effect you dont lose on any links. And there is no question of loosing your old blog, its like this - as a kid Bunty's address goes as Bunty, s/o Bunty's Father, Bunty Villa ... ... But as Bunty gets older and is known in society, he drops the 's/o' part. So now we have Bunty, Bunty Villa ... ... And still gets all the mail, even the mail that comes with the 's/o' part. Ok i agree its a bad example, but thats how basically it is ... :) Hope u get it? Else let me know... i'll be more than glad to help...

I bought a domain and then went to Options>Domain tab. There you can give the new domain name and make the changes to the nameservers as they have mentioned. That will do. So basically, the posts still residing at wordpress, i dont lose out on the stats either. The thing is to make the wordpress blog point to the domain you need to buy 10credits i.e. 10$. so roughly put the total cost for the domain and the upgrade of worpress comes t0 495+400 BTW i bought the domain from rediff, they have an offer on .in domains for 199/-, if you are planning to switch... :) hope this helped ... ohh that …

I meant, how did you go about the whole thing...your domain name change and all that without it affecting your blog stats. I’m probably the dumb one! I am a completely non-techy kind of person.

I didn't know that the blog stats didn't change! I guess it's because you continued with wordpress? Have you got what they call an upgrade? congrats Jerry.
