  Hi there,

  I’ve been working on developing a site for Sheryl Twitty at the address above–this is the site where she granted me permissions. She thought this was http://www.sheryltwitty.com, but it’s not. Right now, that goes to a different page that is still a WordPress site with some of her information, but not much of it, and none of the work I’ve done on the sheryltwitty.wordpress.com site.

  Is there a straightforward way of making the sheryltwitty.com go to sheryltwitty.wordpress.com rather than the random page it is currently picking up? Or does Sheryl have a different set of login creds for the sheryltwitty.com site and I’ll have to transfer that info over manually?

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

  Howdy,

  Sheryltwitty.com is hosted elsewhere, and uses the self-hosted WordPress software that’s available at http://wordpress.org

  You can learn about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can map the domain, sheryltwitty.com, to the WordPress.com site that you built at: http://sheryltwitty.wordpress.com

  That way, anyone who visits sheryltwitty.com will be taken to the site that’s hosted here at WordPress.com.

  If both you and Sheryl want to do this, these instructions should come in handy:
