  Hello. I purchased a new domain on Sunday, but I’m still showing that my site does not exist. (I’m getting the Server Does not Exist error code). I’ve tried several computers and different web browsers. I know it can take up to 72 hours, but it hasn’t appeared yet.

  Should I be worried or hang in there?

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

  I assume you don’t mean this one.

  thistleconfectionsdotcom.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this blog. <.blockquote>

  Here’s how to link your username to your blog in your blog Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog starting and then save changes.

  Now every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.

  I’m sorry, but I’m still really confused. I don’t see how that helps my domain appear?

  I suspect there is a problem both with the Domain Registration and Mapping attempts – This is the time for the Staff to do their magic.

  Thank you. I thought I had done everything that I could. I’m a blogger convert, so this is all very new to me.

  When you contact Staff they will require the URL of the root blog and the URL of the domain you are traying to map it to.

  @timethief, I did give them the requisite information. I was confused by your post. But thank you for your quick response. I think I understand now.

  I was just trying to speed things up by influencing you to have your username linked to the site in question so it was automatically on the support ticket for Staff. :) . Not to worrym Staff will sort this for you. Best wishes with the transition. :)
