  I purchased the domain name alainawaagner.com through WordPress, but it is not mapped to the blog I actually want which is found at alainawaagner.wordpress.com. I have no idea what I did or how to fix it, but I want the domain alainawaagner.com to be applied to the blog found at alainawaagner.wordpress.com.

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

  Did you buy it from that blog’s dashboard? Did you buy domain mapping as well?

  I bought it when I originally registered. I never intended to use the .wordpress.com site. Somehow I managed to start making changes to the alainawaagner.com site, but now whenever I log in, the alainawaagner.wordpress.com site is the one that pulls up when I view “My Blog”. I have no idea if I am making sense.

  I think this is the mapped site: http://alainawaagner.com/

  It looks like you mapped it to: alainawaagnerdotcom.wordpress.com

  Not the end of the world. You probably need to ask the staff to change the mapping to the blog mapped to your name (I assume that is what you intended) – the spelling out the “dotcom” is a common error.

  PS – when all the bits settle out – don’t delete the extra site – just set it to “Private” and use it for testing things or whatever.
