Domain name isn't working.

    I am using the free blog on WP and I deleted my old blog, and started over. I picked out a new domain name and didn’t choose a theme. I just changed it on to that domain name. Today I can log in on that domain name, yet WP doesn’t recognize the one I choose and I cant load a theme because it says I don’t have a domain. The one I picked is taken by me, I can log in, yet it’s telling me I don’t have this as a domain name. When I sign into my site, it’s blue and I don’t have the dashboard in which to load themes. It keeps saying I don’t have a domain. However if I put in the site address with the domain I chose through the wp-admin I get in my account yet it seems my domain isn’t there. I go back and put in my domain and its not available because I have this domain and gives me another option adding the year behind the domain name which I don’t want. Any ideas what I can do to fix this and thanks for reading.

    The site referred to there is an empty site Hello world! March 13, 2008

    What is the exact URL starting with http:// of the site you referring to please?
    This is wordpress.COM support. We cannot answer any questions posted here accurately until we have the relevant URL and have confirmed hosting.
    We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
    (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
    (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM. That support is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
    (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page. That support is found at http://jetpack.com/support/

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, run different theme versions of themes with the same names, and many people get confused about the two. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    The wordpress.ORG support forums are at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

    P.S. Perhaps you have more than one WordPress.COM account. Perhaps you have a wordpress.ORG account. We cannot help until we have the URL of site so we can investigate what’s going on.
