.com? .org? THIS IS SO STUPID.

  Having the link redirect to WordPress.com log in page doesn’t sound right regardless.

  I agree and have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

  Yes, that link will automatically redirect me here:
  http://sarahthompsonphotography.wordpress.com/wp-login.php/

  Is the way my mapped domain name behaves – normal

  @auxclass, but wouldn’t a mapped domain show the WordPress.com theme/site? The OP’s domain above appears to be entirely self-hosted.

  This is my convo with wordpress.com. Does this sound right to y’all?

  Hi,

  Yes, that is all correct.

  Kind regards,

  Now I ended up at:

  http://www.sarahthompsonphotography.com/wp-login.php/

  the log-in for a non WordPress.COM site – so once I get away from my confusion with the WordPress.COM site I am seeing behavior that I think is normal. The base site is also there if I take off the log-in stuff.

  I think I am going to take a walk now :)

  Yeah, patience is the key. The domain won’t point to your blog on Dreamhost until the new nameservers have propagated to your ISP.

  It has been no where near the requisite 72 hours that some ISPs take to refresh their DNS caches.
