  Hi! I think you might find this tutorial useful:

  To manually renew a domain, click on the Renew Now button that appears next your domain.

  There is no domain mapping upgrade for http://lindarowretrospective.com here at WordPress.COM.
  In fact http://lindarowretrospective.com is available for purchase.
  There is no Google search history for that URL either.

  And http://lindarow.wordpress.com/ is not available in Google search because it’s a private blog.

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog. See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  Hi there,

  I wasn’t able to find any record of a lindarowretrospective.com here at WordPress.com. Is it possible that it was purchased with a different registrar? I can see that you have no purchased mapping for a different domain, but you haven’t set it to be your primary domain.

  If you’d like to, you can set it by following the instructions right here:

  Let me know if you have any questions!
