  I have a GoDaddy domain that I would like to use for my blog. I followed the directions to map it to my wordpress but I can’t find the GoDaddy domain when I try to map it in WordPress. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong.

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

  What is the custom domain? Did you buy the domain mapping upgrade here?

  The domain I have is lastdayofapril.com. I didn’t buy the domain mapping upgrade from WordPress.

  The domain helper confirms

  No Domain Mapping Found
  There is no domain mapping upgrade for lastdayofapril.com. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/

  WordPress.com does not domain map free of charge. if you already have a domain that you registered elsewhere, and you want to map that domain to your WordPress.com blog follow these instructions http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Note: After you make the domain mapping purchase and do the set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet.

  OK. This totally makes sense now! Sorry, I’m still very new to this. This helps a lot.
