  I’ve bought the domain of my blog via 123-reg.co.uk, and when I type in http://www.theyoungcreatives.co.uk the site loads, but the address instantly changes back to the original wordpress address (i.e.theyoungcreatives.wordpress.com)
  Is there anyway I can stop this?

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

  If you mapped a domain name to a WordPress.com blog, this is where you enter the MX records (or any other records, such as A, TXT, etc.) that 123-reg provides you:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/custom-dns/
  123-reg has to tell you what to enter there.

  It can take domain changes up to 72 hours (though usually much less) to propagate to your ISP. During that time the domain URL and .wordpress.com subdomain URL may switch back and forth. Unfortunately, we have no control over this as it all depends on how often your ISP refreshes their DNS cache.
