  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

  After you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog from the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades.

  See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  See here for mapping a sub-domain (for a domain with an existing website) to your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  Although sonergoksay.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. You will need to update your domain’s “name servers” to the following:
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain

  Your domain mapping is set correctly – but it takes 24 to 72 hours for changes to reach the far corners of the internet. DON’T change the domain mapping

  Your Primary domain is not set, See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/#setting-the-primary-domain

  Don’t worry about the DNS settings, that is only relevant if you need custom email.

  Do you have an email account you want to use with the domain sonergoksay.com ?

  sonergoksay.com loads to http://artofgoksay.wordpress.com/ for me – the primary domain is not set – see above for help setting the Primary domain (so sonergoksay.com will display in the browser address line)
