Blog not working after transfer from self-hosted to wordpress.com
-
I had a self-hosted wordpress blog that I recently moved back to wordpress from bluehost. Now when you go to my blog, it just shows the bluehost error screen, even though I imported everything back to wordpress.com. (I had a .com account, then went self-hosted, and now have moved back to .com). I don’t think I ever transferred my domain to bluehost either so I am not sure what the problem is. (I bought a domain, http://www.threecleversisters.com from wordpress before I was self-hosted and never transferred it to my recollection, nor does my account seem to so indicate). Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Sara!
In order for the domain to work correctly, you’ll need to point it to WordPress.com. To do that, you’ll need to login under the account that owns the domain (not sarabclever). Do you remember the login details of your other account?
After you login, you can follow the instructions here to change the name servers:
Just set them back to the default WordPress.com name servers instead of the Bluehost ones.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

thanks! I have tried that and it seems like I did it right–the blog hasn’t started working yet, but I saw it can take up to 72 hours so hopefully it will kick in soon.

Hey Sara,
It looks like you have done it right. It can take up to 72 hours, but it usually happens much quicker. Please let me know if the domain doesn’t start working within 24 hours or so.
