Bad link on a "like" notice

    I am new to wordpress but this seems like a really wild one. Please hang with me as I explain.

    I used to own the domain name flyoverpress.com but allowed it to lapse.

    Someone purchased the domain name and put up a site called “Astrological Compatibility” (doesn’t make any sense to me either but it happened).

    So, when I decided to revive the old FlyoverPress, the URL was not available but I was able to purchase flyover-press.com (the only difference is the hyphen).

    Recently, I decided to start up a wordpress blog to compliment the web site so I did: http://www.flyoverpress.wordpress.com.

    OK, I was messing around with it trying to learn and figure out how it works. I had managed to get a post and a page out the door.

    Then, just to see what would happen, I clicked on the “like” link.
    I received a response from wordpress: “You liked your own post on FlyoverPres.com.

    The linked wordpress icon at the upper right of the message works properly–takes me to flyoverpress.wordpress.com. But…

    The word in the message, FlyoverPress, is also linked. The problem is that it directs me to “Astrological Compatibility.”

    Is there any way I can fix that from my end or will someone at wordpress have to do it? Please instruct and thanks for your time.

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

    As I said, I am new at wordpress. That in conjunction with the “automated” has led to some confusion.

    The blog that I need help with is http://flyoverpress.wordpress.com and is, indeed, being hosted by wordpress.

    I do have a web site (not a blog) that is hosted by GoDaddy but the problem is with an automated “like” notice with an incorrect link.

    Is that any more clear? Thanks again.
