  I purchased the blog historyexpeditions.wordpress.com from WordPress. I also purchased the domain http://www.historyexpeditions.com from WordPress. I probably mapped the site incorrectly since I’m new to WP, and I’m getting the message to update the DNS. The advice I’ve gotten from WordPress is to contact the registrar of the domain to repoint the domain to WordPress.com. However, I purchased the domain from WordPress, so the advice doesn’t seem to make sense. Does anyone have any solutions or know of anyone who can help to fix it?

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

  Unless you own the domain it’s already registered by someone else. You can cancel the domain at https://historyexpeditions.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades and register a new domain name at https://historyexpeditions.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains . Note that historyexpeditions.net and historyexpeditions.me are still available.
