  When I try to set my domain to the new domain name that I purchased from you, it does not go to my blog. It tells me that the webpage does not exist. I would like to know how to use my new vanity domain name and have it go to my blog

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

  Hey there!

  After you register and map a custom domain, it can take up to 72-hours for your site to appear properly throughout the internet. I see you adjusted your WordPress.com site name as your primary domain. Tomorrow morning, you should adjust it back to your custom domain, refresh your site in your browser, and see if the domain name is working properly.

  Once the 72-hours is over, I suspect your domain will be working just fine, but if you have any trouble at all, please let me know asap and I can look further into the issue for you!

  I hope this helps! Take care.

  Excellent. Please check in with me and let me know how things are working out after that 72-hour waiting period. Things may very well begin working before then :)
