  I am having problems linking my wordpress site with the hover domain I have purchased. I paid the $13 mapping fee and everything, just want to make sure I am on the right track. I get this message when attempting to access the blog:

  “This webpage has a redirect loop”

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

  Hey there!

  Everything in your WordPress.com account is fine, but the domain name still needs to be configured to point to WordPress.com Name Servers.

  You need to go to the company where you registered the domain and change the Name Servers of your domain name to:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  After one or two hours, that will take full effect and you’ll be able to see your site. Try restarting your browser and clearing its cache if it’s taking more than one hour.

  Let me know if you run into any trouble with this.

  Hey there!

  Favicons are known as “blavatars” in the WordPress.com lingo, here’s how to change yours:
