  What is your domain URL starting with http:// ?

  All I see is this URL http://kristinaestelle3.wordpress.com/ for a blog on a .wordpress.com sub-domain

  I have no idea how that URL even exists! I’m so confused with all these forms…

  My website is at http://www.baymaples.com/.

  Thanks!

  This http://www.baymaples.com/ is not hosted by WordPress.com and there is no domain mapping upgrade for baymaples.com here.

  baymaples.com is hosted by iPage
  Name Servers:
  ns1.fatcow.com
  ns2.fatcow.com

  You need to contact your web host and redirect the nameservers. This is the WordPress.COM support forum. Here we provide support only for blogs hosted by WordPress.com

  You are referring to a WordPress.ORG software install and 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, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate 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.
