  Even though I have now managed to make my own domain the primary url, in my DNS records it is still saying that I dont have the necessary DNS records to make my blog work. What do I need to do to make them work? Does my domain need to be hosted if I am using it through wordpress.com?

  Thanks

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

  Hi there, it looks like your domain is mapped correctly, and I’m seeing your WordPress.com site on your custom domain, as you can see here:

  Are you able to see your site here?

  No it just says sit temporarily unavailable. Could this just be because I only set it up (name server changes) about an hour ago?

  Could you try clearing the cache in Firefox and see if that makes a difference?

  Can you see your site in another browser, like Chrome or Safari?

  DNS changes can take several hours up to 48 hours to fully propagate thoughout the Internet, so it may just be a matter of time. You can monitor the propagation here:

  We can also try resetting your PC’s local DNS cache – just let me know what operating system you’re using (i.e. Windows 7, Vista, etc.) and I’ll send you instructions. Thanks!
