  I’m sorry, I do not know what “domain map” means… Very new to this! The one I intended to purchase was aliveinadhd.com I just purchased that one… Now I have 2 domain names. How do I delete the first one that got messed up?

  When you buy a domain like aliveinadhd.com you have to map to it from an underlying .wordpress.COM sub-domain URL like http://lifeinadhddotcom.wordpress.com/

  All is well. Do not delete anything.

  Congratulations! The nameservers appear to be set up correctly for aliveinadhd.com.
  Primary Blog is Set

  aliveinadhd.com is set as the primary domain for lifeinadhddotcom.wordpress.com and will appear in the address bar when you visit the site.

  It can take as long as 72 hours for DNS changes to become widely available. If you’re still not seeing your site loading at aliveinadhd.com, please wait a few more hours, clear your browser cache, http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clear-your-cache-and-cookies and try again.

  Thank you! Can the underlying WordPress.com domain just be my name?

  Like kaitymic.wordpress.com

  Instead of lifeinadhddotcom.wordpress.com ?

  Even just looking at that name right now is making go nuts. :( I don’t understand how it got so messed up.
