  While I haven’t done any work on my blog yet. I purchased the premium plan, but when I enter the website into a browser it won’t show up. Am I missing an installation step or what?

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

  Hi there!

  It appears as if you’ve mapped a domain (thesojourn.com) with us. However, the actual domain name doesn’t appear to be registered. Basically, you’ve connected, or mapped, your WordPress.com site to a non-existent domain name.

  In order to have a working domain, you’ll need to register it.

  Here’s how…click below:
  https://thesojourndotcom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Select “Register a New Domain Name.”

  Follow the instructions given to you in the next screen.

  I’ve detached the non-functioning mapping you added. Otherwise, it would have impeded the registration process.

  Once you’ve completed the registration steps, you should be up and running.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
