custom site name not working nor can i verify it with search sites
-
I purchased a custom name weberlifedesignspeaks.com and when I try to use it it does not show that any site with that name exists. My new blog URL is supposed to be weberlifedesignspeaks.com, not weberlifedesign.wordpress.com. I paid for this and am very upset that it is messing with my stats
Also I have followed all of the wordpress directions numerous time to verify my blog with search engines (google, bing, etc) and they keep telling me “verification failed”
HELP ASAP
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The domain weberlifedesignspeaks.com is working properly now. If you’re not seeing it yet, please note that it can take up to 72 hours from when a domain is registered for the domain records to update across the internet so the site displays properly.
You might try clearing your browser cache to see if it is working now for you:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cacheOnce that has been done, please follow the instructions to verify your site listed below:
-
I cleared my cache on firefox as well as chrome. tried again putting in weberlifedesignspeaks.com in the address bar of both browsers with still results “domain not found”
I did finally verify using the chrome browser, but why doesn’t my site come up when typed into address bar
-
Again, it may not be fully propagated across the internet. Please give it another day and it should be working at that time.
It could also be your computer retaining an old version of the site. While this usually resolves itself automatically, you can try flushing your DNS to see if that allows you to view your site across browsers:
-
I flushed the dns, STILL NOT WORKING
will my stats from weberlifedesign.wordpress.com transfer over to weberlifedesignspeaks.com.
This is extremely important for me to keep my stats. I don’t think that after all of my hard work I should have to start from scratch -
Despite the two addresses, you have just one site at weberlifedesign.wordpress.com, so the stats will remain connected to it. The domain is pointing to that site and serves as the primary address, but the content and stats on the underlying WordPress.com site remains the same.
-
I still cannot connect using weberlifedesignspeaks in the address bar. It only works if hpp is in front of it. This does not help when I am giving this address to people searching for my blog. What was the point of me purchasing a custom address if it is not working and I have to tell people who want to see may stats to go to my weberlifedesign.wordpress.com
I am really upset about this
-
in fact ezine just wrote me to tell me that my link is not working to weberlifedesignspeaks.com
-
I think I have discovered the source of the issue. You registered, and I checked, the domain weberlifdesignspeaks.com.
There appears to be a typo in the domain! Whoops!
Because I didn’t catch it in time for you to cancel the domain and re-register it at no charge, I have added $26 in credits to your account so you can register weberlifedesignspeaks.com (this time, with the E!).

-
You’re very welcome, and my apologies for not catching it sooner. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
-
I just registered the new name and set it as my primary but now I cannot get on it at all

Everything looks correct now. For now, you’ll need to wait for the domain to propagate, as I was suggesting with the other one. I’m sorry for the additional wait, but this is necessary for all domains to update across the internet. It should be working soon.
-
coming up :) I have also updated the webmaster tools. Now when will it show my 3 page rank that I have with weberlifedesign.wordpress.com.
This is very important

one more issue, my feed to weberlifedesignspeaks.com cannot be found when I tried to put it in my GoDaddy website. I am putting in the url with /feed/ at the end just like I had with weberlifedesign.wordpress.com, why is it not connecting
