  Hi there!

  It’s going to the GoDaddy page because you haven’t yet configured your name servers to “point” to your site at WordPress.com.

  In order to do this, you can adjust your domain’s default name servers to:
  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  GoDaddy provides instructions here:

  https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/12317/setting-custom-nameservers-for-domains-registered-with-us?locale=en

  You can also read our information page about mapping your domain to a WordPress.com-hosted site:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  I just visited http://tcchristensen.com and was directed to your WordPress.com website.

  Domain changes usually take several hours to fully take effect (and theoretically can take up to 72 hours). I’d recommend checking back in a few more hours. You can also try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. Instructions can be found here:

  If it’s still not working, simply reply back and let me know. I’m happy to investigate further.
