Domain name mapping not working

    I purchased my domain (foreverphotogj.com) name last October and have been using it for my WIX based photography website. I’ve since deleted that website and want to re-route the domain name to my blog so that people who go to the url listed on my business card see the blog instead (foreverphotographygj.wordpress.com) I’ve followed the 3-step domain forwarding guide in the “support” section. My godaddy domain manager has its DNS fields updated to the wordpress addresses given (ns1.wordpress.com and so on) I went to store>domain and bought the domain mapping upgrade (I seem to have purchased this twice now, since I thought it hadn’t worked the first time) and then I updated foreverphotogj to be my primary domain. Now when I type that URL into my address box, it brings up a blank white page with “forever photography” as the tab title, foreverphotogj.com in the address box, and nothing else. I have to assume I’ve done it right if it’s no longer forwarding me to my old wix site but do you know why it doesn’t pull up my blog? I can’t seem to access my blog at all at the moment because my old url redirects to my new one which doesn’t seem to work.
    Blog url: http://foreverphotographygj.wordpress.com/

    Your domain name servers for foreverphotogj.com don’t appear to be pointing to WordPress.com. Can you please try updating your DNS information via your domain registrar to point to:

    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    In the meantime, I’ve changed your primary domain back to your .wordpress.com URL so you can see your site.
