Changes only show up on .wordpress domain
-
Hi, I have recently had a developer add my domain name to my blog so I have www. juliakeeleyphotography.co.uk and http://www.juliakeeleyphotography.wordpress.co.uk. when I login to wordpress. I use the .co.uk domain on all my advertising material but found out the other day that I have been updating my site and the changes are only appearing on the .wordpress site and both come up in a google search. Can I link them so that only the .co.uk shows up on google and links and all changes and updates show on the .co.uk? Do I have to make sure that I only update this domain when I login?
Sorry if I’m doing something that’s obviously wrong or asking a silly question but any help would be gratefully received as my developer is on holiday and this could be affecting business!
Thank you in advance, JuliaThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This site http://www.juliakeeleyphotography.wordpress.co.uk/ is NOT hosted by WordPress.COM and we do not provide support for it. This is the WordPress.COM support forum. You need to post to the WordPress.ORG support forum for help with your site because it is not hosted by WordPress.COM.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins, features and support forums http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

This site is hosted by WordPress.COM http://juliakeeleyphotography.wordpress.com. However, we do not provide support for forwarding and masking.
WordPress.com provides free blogs and free hosting for them. WordPress.com does not accept domain name transfers but mapping to an existing domain can be done.
Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.
Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.
See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

http://juliakeeleyphotography.co.uk/ – as noted above is a WordPress.ORG install
http://www.juliakeeleyphotography.wordpress.co.uk/ – is not a valid URL – that goes to a site & domain owned by one of the founders of WordPress – and forwards to WordPress.ORG – wordpress.co.uk does not seem to host anything other than to server as a forwarding site

Oh ok thank you. I clicked through to support whilst logged in so don’t understand how I arrived here in that case! Anyway, thank you both for taking the time to reply to me, I really appreciate it :)
