  Hi- I purchased a domain through wordpress.com today (http://edthoughts.net) but when I type the address into chrome the address cannot be found. It should direct to my blog edthoughts.wordpress.com, but I am getting nothing. Do you know how long it takes for a new domain to get started?

  Hello there,
  This is not an instantaneous process. It takes 24 – 72 hours for the domain name change to propagate throughout the internet. If you do not see your blog at the new domain immediately, please allow some time for the DNS changes to propagate. You can view the process here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/edthoughts.net/
