  I have never done a DNS nor do I understand how I create one. I have looked at the forums and tried to formulate one based on those, but I have no luck. Please help!

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

  What exactly is it that you want to achieve?

  Although midesignwear.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up.

  If you wish to host your site at WordPress.com, you will need to update your nameservers. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain

  After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the set up 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.

  You need to go to 1 and 1 – log into your registration account and change the name servers to those shown above in the link from @TT –

  You need to make the changes at 1 and 1 not here

  Have you set up an email account with your domain name (midesignwear.com.)? i.e. you (at) domain-name.com?
