    I had a web designer build my site/blog on wordpress and people who typed in braecanlen.com were automatically directed there. Now it is necessary to type braecanlen.wordpress.com. My domain registry payment is up to date.

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

    Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge to you have to renew both very year in two different places.

    There is no domain mapping upgrade for braecanlen.com. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

    See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing 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.
