  I purchased a domain name from Godaddy.Com. I changed the name servers to
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  But the domain name, friendofjesus365.com still comes up as an empty page. Any help appreciated.

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

  Have you completed the domain mapping process? In particular make sure that the “primary” is set to your registered domain name.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  It can take anywhere from 24-72 hours for the domain name nameserver change to completely propagate completely around the literally hundreds of thousands of nameservers on the internet. Generally it happens in 24 hours or less, but ultimately how soon you will see the change is dependent on how often your ISP updates their nameserver caches. Some do it frequently, and some not so much.

  Give it some time. A whois lookup shows the nameservers are pointing at wordpress.

  Domain servers in listed order:
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Everything I did I did on Godaddy’s site. Is there something I need to do on my blogs end too? I apologize if I am not following what you said I am a little slow on some of these things.

  You need to read and follow the instructions given above by @TSP for Domain Mapping to an Existing Domain

  Thank you. I was reading to where it listed the link and directed me to godaddy. I missed the step about mapping. Thanks for your patience.
