Domain Maping
-
I read the FAQ but am confused. I currently have my domain registered at GoDaddy. long ago I redirected it to my wordpress.com blog, so it became http://www.mydomain.wordpress.com. I would like it to just be mydomain.com. Do I need to make any changes at Godaddy or just change in the domain mapping part of my blog settings and pay the extra fee?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Both. This is what it says in the FAQ:
Q: I own domain.com, can I map that to my wordpress.com blog?
A: Yes! Here is what you need to do: Go to your domain registrar and change the nameservers to the following, being sure to remove any existing nameservers that may be there:ns1.wordpress.com
ns2.wordpress.com
ns3.wordpress.comIf your registrar needs the IP addresses:
72.232.101.25
76.74.159.137
64.34.177.159Then you need to wait. DNS propagation could take up to 72 hours – though it is frequently less. Go to http://dnsstuff.com. At the bottom of the page there is a WHOIS Lookup box – enter your domain name. If it says our nameservers, you can proceed here. If it does not you need to wait some more until it does. Once updated, go to Settings -> Domains. Put your domain name in the box, click ‘Add domain to blog’.
Your domain should then appear as a choice below that button. Next to the domain name it will say “Put blog here”. Click that.
None of that will work until you’ve paid the ten dollars.
