  I started the blog http://www.mousepartyofcanada.wordpress.com and then upgraded to http://www.mousepartyofcanada.ca Now when I click on the url I get a message telling me the webmaster hasn’t uploaded the site to the web. How can I upload it? Thanks for any suggestions.

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

  I added a zone record for you in case that was preventing you from changing the name servers
