  Hi Paul,

  I see that you purchased domain mapping for the domain peakeperformance.ie. To finish the domain mapping process, you’ll need to update your domain to use the WordPress.com name servers:

  • NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  • NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  • NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  We have more details about that here: Map an Existing Domain

  Your domain registrar can help you make that change, if you’re not sure how. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

  Hi Paul,

  You’re very welcome! I just checked your domain at http://peakeperformance.ie/ and I see it’s pointing correctly to WordPress.com, so you’re all set with that. :)

  It may take a little time for search engines like Google and Bing to catch up with the change, but we do notify them to let them know when you make changes and updates to your site. If there’s anything more I can do to help, please let me know.

  Hi Rachel

  Maybe just one little thing .. I’m still learning and loving the ease that I have been able to do my first ever site (great product….and support. thanks again )

  I haven’t figured out yet how to make it ‘view only’

  I’m sure it’s in the setting somewhere .. could you give me a quick pointer in the right direction ..
  Just a general whereabout.. as I know it’s how I’ve learnt this much.. just mucking about trying whqt ca be done

  much appriciated

  Paul

  Hi Paul,

  I’m so glad you’re enjoying the process so far!

  However, I’m not sure what you mean by “view only” — can you describe a little more about what kind of change that would make to the site? That will help me point you in the right direction.

  Hi again

  When the page opens (now at my .ie address.. :))
  the top left hand corner there is a drop down box that allows access to the dashboard and edit functions.

  My question.. how can I remove this from the public access to stop someone editing my content?

  Thanks

  Paul

  Hi Paul,

  Ah, I see what you mean. Only you have access to those dashboard and edit functions, while you’re logged in to your WordPress.com account. Other visitors to your site won’t see those options. You can see more about that here: Admin Bar

  You can also test that by opening your site in a different browser or on another computer, to see what it looks like to visitors.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that.
