  Purchased a domain and set it up on Godaddy for hosting yesterday. Mapped it to my wordpress account after paying the fee. Although my primary domain is set as http://www.howdobatterieswork.com, it defaults to http://www.howdobatterieswork.wordpress.com. I don’t want the xxx.wordpress.com addy and thought the mapping was supposed to take care of it. What the XXX is happening?

  It looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=howdobatterieswork.com

  Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions!
