  There are two steps involved: 1) set up domain mapping on WordPress.com to point to your content and 2) change the name servers at the registrar where you purchased the domain (GoDaddy). Here’s the guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Also, there seems to be a redirect set up for mainerrisms.com at GoDaddy. You’ll want to remove that.

  Once you’ve made the changes, it may take up to 72 hours for them to fully spread around the internet. During that time your domain name may become temporarily inaccessible.
