  I bought a DNS thru godaddy and now want to use wordpress for our website. But I want them to go to the wordpress site not the godaddy site when they type in http://www.momsclubftpolk.com. How do I make this happen?

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

  This should do it:

  Thanks auxclass! The answer was right under my nose and I didn’t see it.

  You be welcome

  Remember that it will take some time for the changes to migrate to the far corners of the internet – changes start in a few hours but can take 24 to 72 hours for everything to settle down

  Ok I think I might have complicated things. The events unfolded like this:
  1. I bought the DNS
  2. created a wordpress blog
  3. accidentally created a second blog after paying 13.00 mapping fee
  4. deleted first blog
  5. went to godaddy and changed server names to wordpress names, says it may take 2 hours for this to complete
  6. Now when I go to add the domain to the blog thru the dashboard-store-domain options I get a message that says the domain has already been mapped to a wordpress blog.

  Is this because the servername change hasn’t taken place yet?
