  I am seeing http://glamstar443.com/ point correctly to your WordPress.com site.

  It can take 24-48 hours for domain/DNS changes to propagate throughout the internet. It typically happens faster than that, but it really depends on your ISPs update frequency. If you are still not seeing the correct site appear after 48 hours has elapsed, please contact me again.

  Also, do let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

  Do I have to update the name server on Godaddy’s end as instructed in the WP tutorial by adding the following? If so, am I typing the actual letters NS1 or just placing the text in name server box #1

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

  According to the WHOIS data, you have the nameservers correct:

  http://who.is/whois/glamstar443.com

  You’ve only got NS1.WORDPRESS.COM & NS2.WORDPRESS.COM in there, so if you can I’d add the NS3.WORDPRESS.COM as well.

  But it should be working with what you have it set as.

  Having multiple nameservers is just a backup system in case of errors or failure with the initial one.
