  Hi there,
  I need help mapping my domain. I have purchased the domain corefit.co.nz and have a single page website running at the moment. Site is currently hosted with Bluehost. But I got the domain from Freeparking.

  When I try mapping it, it comes back with an error that the extension is wrong. Does it have to be a .com?
  Cheers

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

  Hi there. Are you trying to map your domain to an existing WordPress.com blog? I ask as I see http://corefitnz.wordpress.com/ is empty. To map your domain to an existing blog you’ll need to first buy the domain mapping upgrade from that blog’s dashboard, and then change your namesevers from Bluehost.com to wordpress.com. You’re also going to have to cancel your hosting with Bluehost, as your website will be hosted by WordPress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  If you are trying to set up your own website using the WordPress.org software, then you are in the wrong forum. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ and you’ll need to post in the WordPress.org forum for help in getting your site set up: http://wordpress.org/support/
