  I own the domain name drmarkrichardson.com. I’ve tried to link it to my new Word Press account but the url that I have to type in to access my information is drmarkrichardsoncom.wordpress.com. How do I get the url changed to come up with simply drmarkrichardson.com

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

  Hi there,

  The nameservers of drmarkrichardson.com is currently pointed elsewhere, but they need to be pointed to WordPress.com for you to use it with your site.

  In order to use your domain hosted elsewhere with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at your domain host, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the mapping subscription upgrade so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
