  Hi,

  Just got off the phone with Godaddy who’s hosting my domain – SingleWomanTravels.com
  That domain is forwarded to SingleWomanTravel.wordpress.com

  Right now I cannot see my blog thru either domains – Please help!!

  Also, my stats page is not recording anything since 12:01am April 2, 2014.

  Is something happening at WordPress.com??

  Thanks in advance!
  Karen

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

  All looks well on my end. I tried both URL’s and both take me directly to your page.

  What browser are you currently using? Have you cleared your cache?

  Just got off the phone with Godaddy who’s hosting my domain – SingleWomanTravels.com

  Although singlewomantravels.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. We do not assist with domain forwarding issues. We recommend domain mapping instead of forwarding.

  Before you go ahead with this please read this section very carefully > Domains – Important Notes Before Upgrading
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase.

  After you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog from the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades.

  See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  See here for mapping a sub-domain (for a domain with an existing website) to your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
