  I purchased a domain at Namecheap that I want to use for WordPress blog. I changed the DNS at name heap as instructed but how will they find my blog? Was I supposed to use my WP blog name somewhere there or do I change it on my WP site?

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

  Hi, you have to map your domain to your WP. Use the following link for instructions:

  I did that at namecheap using the codes provided. Was I suppose to include the name of the blog in that and not just WordPress.com?

  From the link provided, I understand that you need to do actions on both sides: WordPress (using the Map Domain option) and in your domain registrar (Namecheap in this case).
