  I have a blog here (tracklessband.wordpress.com) that was mapped to the domain tracklessmusic.com. On Feb 27 the mapping expired. I would like to renew it, as I am still the owner of the domain to my knowledge. But when I try to follow the link emailed to me for upgrading, it says content is no longer available.

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

  Hello there!

  It appears as if your domain, which is not hosted here at WordPress.com, doesn’t have our name servers. This means that it is not “pointing” to your servers here at WordPress.com.

  In order to complete the mapping process, you not only need to add mapping here, but you need to change your name servers with your registrar to:
  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  For more information about domain mapping, please take a look at this link:

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