Adding Domain via wordpress

    Hi,

    I’ve tried to add a domain via my blog by clicking Upgrades/Domains
    Then i wrote the url i wish to buy, and i get this message :

    Domains
    Credits
    Domain mapping is available for 10 credits per domain per year, registration not included. You have 0 credits. You will have to purchase additional credits via PayPal. Note that some forms of payment (eChecks) may take several days to process.

    Possible problem with mikiblueyes.com
    We were unable to verify that mikiblueyes.com is pointing to WordPress.com. If you own this domain, follow the directions below to get it ready for your blog. If you don’t own it, try a different name to see if something else is available. If the domain is available, you may be able to register it with another registrar and then map it to your blog.

    How to fix it
    Using the DNS tools provided by your domain registrar, remove any existing nameservers and add the following:

    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
    Then come back here and try again. It may take several hours for our system to recognize the changes.

    If all else fails
    If you need help, or if your registrar recommends a different solution, please contact support via the Feedback link at the top right of this page. We will help you sort it out.

    I did the same process on Thursday last week and suddently its all changed.
    can you please help?

    Well first off, you have to change DNS servers at your domain provider. So go to the site where you registered your domain, log in and change servers to :
    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
    When you do it, go to the Upgrades/Domains and add that domain. After that you will need to pay 10$ (10 credits) so you can redirect it.
