  I recently purchased my domain from godaddy and somehow put it in my settings, but now it points to the GoDaddy page rather than my blog. I’m a total novice and need help!

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

  Hey there,

  Well, you’ve actually taken half the steps already, so that’s great. Now, you need to change your name servers at GoDaddy. I searched GoDaddy’s support page, and found their instructions:

  https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/12317/setting-custom-nameservers-for-domains-registered-with-us?locale=en

  Click on the directions for, “6 Domains or Fewer.”

  You will want to change your GoDaddy domain name servers to the following:
  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  It can take up to 72-hours for these adjustments to propagate internet-wide. So, don’t be worried if you don’t see the changes appear correctly immediately. It is a bit of a waiting game.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  It’s saying these are invalid nameservers?

  Ok, once I removed the https:// it worked. So how can folks view my blog until then? how can I change it back to the original domain?

  The good news is…it appears as if http://sawdustandstone.com/ is up and running.

  When I visit the custom domain, I am taken to your WordPress.com site.

  Take a look, and see what you’re able to view.

  Thanks!
