can't find blog by typing name in address bar
-
I just set up a wordpress blog, and it seems to be working well, except the only way I can access it is to go to wordpress.com, sign in, and click on my dashboard. Which means nobody else can access it either. When I type the address into the address bar, I get a “server not found” message. I mapped this blog to our website, and neither the .wordpress.com address nor the new .org address work.
The privacy setting says that anybody can access the blog, I haven’t changed that or any other settings. What’s going on? Why doesn’t my blog address work??
Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The last “server not found” error was by a person that could not spell wordpess.com. Double check your spelling. I have also done the same thing a few times.
-
That does not appear to exist, at least not for me. What is the WP.com blog to which that domain name has been applied?
-
Have you mapped the domain?

Note that if you did the domain mapping it can take 24 to72 hours for the changes to migrate across the internet.

Yes, that’s the point– nobody can access it.
The wordpress blog address is
http://blogdotpacificwilddotorg.wordpress.com(don’t ask me why the dot’s are spelled out– I didn’t do it)
But you can’t access that one either.

Are these instructions the ones you used? They are for a sub-domain (blog.your-site.com).

yes I mapped it for a sub-domain. The domain thing is not really the issue- that part works fine, and neither blog address works anyway.
-
It can be that while the domain upgrade is in progress the blog is not possible to reach (in consolation, Sunday is the best day for this to happen). It usually corrects itself across the globe in a few hours.
-
When I click on your wordpress.com URL it is redirecting to your new Mapped Domain.
That part should be happening.As Raincoaster says, hopefully the new domain should be working soon.

I still am unable to reach your blog via either URL.
