    Hi, I had a wordpress blog associated with my domain: yourdreamrealized.com, but I started a new one on wordpress.com: http://wendy847.wordpress.com. I’m trying to map the this url to my domain: yourdreamrealized.com, but it’s saying that this is associated with another wordpress blog. I tried uninstalling wordpress on blue host, which is where i did the original install for yourdreamrealized.com.

    When I got to yourdreamrealized.com I get this site: http://yourdreamrealized.com/wp-admin/setup-config.php

    When I cleared my cache this result still happens. Please help me to map the wendy847 blog to yourdreamrealized.com. Thanks!

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

    Howdy!

    Your domain yourdreamrealized.com is still mapped to a self-hosted WordPress.org site on Bluehost. This is because your name servers are currently set to their BlueHost defaults. Here are instructions to change your domains name servers at BlueHost:

    https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/222

    Following those instructions, adjust the name servers to these three records: 

    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    Once you save those records, it may take a little bit for the DNS settings to adjust around the whole world, but then your domain will point to your WordPress.com site.

    Let me know if you hit any snags adjust those three records – or you can read more about mapping an existing domain name here:
