  My domain, http://stevenadamswv.com does not work, despite renewing the domain. At the very least I’d love for it to point to my new wordpress blog, http://stevenallenadams.com (or http://wvexaminer.wordpress.com).

  P.S. I’d much rather directly contact WordPress than do it this way, where you all will ask me super-specific questions which I can’t answer. Would much rather have them go under the hood and fix the damn problem.

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

  http://www.stevenadamswv.com/ loads fine for me to a WordPress.ORG installed blog not hosted here

  You can map you domain name to your blog here with these instructions:

  That is a problem, considering it is a WordPress.com blog, not a WordPress.org blog.

  stevenadamswv.com/ is a .ORG blog

  wvexaminer.wordpress.com/ forwards to: stevenadamswv.com

  stevenallenadams.com/ is mapped to stevenallenadamsdotcom.wordpress.com a .COM blog – and was mapped less than 72 hours ago but has all the settings correct.

  What you want to do is up to you

  This is exactly why I’d rather talk to a WordPress rep, not some random yahoo. I get what you’re saying that stevenadamswv pops up as a WordPress.org. What I am telling you is it’s NOT a WordPress.org blog. It was always through WordPress.com. I paid my renewal for stevenadamswv last month, yet my original WordPress.com blog, nor does going to wvexaminer.wordpress.com give me access. It just keeps taking to the screen that you keep telling me is a WordPress.org template. If I knew why, I wouldn’t be here begging a WordPress rep to rescue me from the hell that is this community forum.

  PS – you will need to wait for some other random yahoo to help you and yes I know how to contact the staff to ask them to help you

  First off apologies. Second off, no, nothing you have told me helps me. If I knew what I was doing I wouldn’t have a WordPress.com account.
