I am very new to wordpress.com. Recently, I set-up my URL (agmarketing.us) to redirect to my wordpress url (https://agmarketingstrategies.wordpress.com/) with “masking.” I did this via go daddy, where I purchased AGMarketing.us. My desired outcome was to hide the wordpress URL and show agmarketing.us. It worked. HOWEVER, when I click around on my site, it always shows agmarketing.us (opposed to something like agmarketing.us/blog). How would I set-up the latter?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi!

There are two steps to getting your domain to work correctly:
1. Change the name servers on your domain to point to WordPress.com as explained here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#how-to-change-your-name-servers
2. Once the name servers have been changed, update the primary address on your account here:
  https://agmarketingstrategies.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains
Can you give those two steps a try? Once we get this up and running, masking shouldn’t be necessary (the steps above are better overall for SEO, functionality, etc).

Amazing! This worked–thank you for the details. As I mentioned in my original post, I am completely new to this. I can follow instructions, but I’m following them pretty blindly.

Not a problem at all! If you need anything else, just holler. :)
