  I can’t access my blog since I bought a domain name with you. What I wanted is for people to write the shorter URL to acess and be redirected yo the wordpress blog. Essentially, that I will still have my blog but without the .wordpress

  Now, I can’t access it at all, what hapenned ?

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

  I am seeing olichab.com point correctly to your WordPress.com site.

  It can take 24-48 hours for domain/DNS changes to propagate throughout the internet. It typically happens faster than that, but it really depends on your ISPs update frequency. If you are still not seeing the correct site appear after 48 hours has elapsed, please contact me again.

  Also, olichab.com was not set as your WordPress.com site’s primary domain. I have switched that for you and the URL should now display correctly. For future reference, you can change or update your primary domain by logging into your WordPress.com site’s dashboard and going to Store–>Domains.

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

  Thanks rootjosh ! It now works, I reseted my cookies and caches of Safari and now it works fine. However, olichab.com seems to be just a redirect link to .wordpress.com. Is that normal ?

  Thanks.

  That should be fixed now as well. Despite the fact that I told you I had set olichab.com to be the “primary” domain, for some reason it either didn’t stick or I somehow didn’t do it.

  Either way, my apologies and it should display olichab.com now.
