  I am trying to access my website http://www.rippop.com that was built on WordPress but it will not recognize my name as ddoherty, rippop, or rippop.com or my emails (email visible only to moderators and staff), (email visible only to moderators and staff), or my passwords. What is wrong?

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

  I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble. However, rippop.com is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, which we really can’t help with.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation and support sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at http://codex.wordpress.org/ and http://wordpress.org/support/

  I have mistakenly mapped my wordpress.com website to my blog instead of my website. My website is sabusinessattorney.com (I’m trying to use wordpress.com to update it). But it is mapped to garzalawfirmblog.wordpress.com. I’d like to (1) use wordpress.com to update my website, and (2) have wordpress.com mapped directly to the sabusinessattorney.com website. I hope this makes sense and someones can help. Thank you.

  Thank you. I hope I’m not confusing it more, but here is what I did.

  I set up the http://www.sabusinessattorney.com website through Yahoo (developed with something called Yahoo Sitebuilder). It is now dated in need of fixes. I bought a wordpress.com membership.

  Now, I’d like to (1) develop a wordpress.com site, (2) use a template to build an updated, dynamic website, and (3) have sabusinessattorney.com open to the new wordpress.com website (without “wordpress.com” in the URL). I am starting the worpress site from scratch and have it complete.

  I just need to have the new wordpress site open instead of the Yahoo Sitebuilder site open when typing in sabusinessattorney.com.

  I’ll try the link you sent to see if it works, but that is what I am trying to do. Thanks!
