  I’ve added the domain of my old website to my account. What settings do I need to adjust so that people who type “davidannandale.com” will be sent to my wordpress blog?

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

  If you used thei sguide and followed all the steps then the process can take up to 72 hours but rarely takes that long.

  Map an existing domain (one you already own) to your WordPress.com blog.

  Oops, No Primary Site Set

  There is no primary domain set for davidannandale.wordpress.com. This means that although davidannandale.com will forward to the site, davidannandale.wordpress.com will appear in the browser address bar

  Looks like you skipped a step above – review the instructions from timethief

  I do have the wordpress.com set as the primary site. davidannandale.com isn’t redirecting. I’ll give it the 72 hours and see if things change.
