  I bought a domain name, and I can’t figure out how to change my current blog’s url to said newly purchased address. How do I do this?

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

  Hi there,

  You can change your blog’s URL by setting the primary domain under Store > Domains in your dashboard. We have more information about how to do this here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domains-settings/#changing-your-primary-domain

  I checked your blog, and your new domain name dentonmeteor.com is set as the primary domain for your blog, so you’re all set!

  Please note that it can take 48-72 hours for a newly registered domain to begin working properly. If you can’t yet see your site at your custom domain, you may just need to give it time. You can also try to force it to update by flushing your computer’s DNS cache:

  Please let me know if you have any questions about this!
