  How do I map my domain with GoDaddy? They need an IP but I don’t know what to put. I updated my nameservers and tried an IP but it says couldnt connect to servers. Please help!

  You can map your domain here following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  There’s no need for an IP address, just nameservers.

  You don’t need to enter an IP. In fact, there’s no IP to enter. You only need to change the nameservers.

  Sorry, just to be clear, what is the domain you are trying to map and what account are you trying to map it to? The instructions provided before are for how to map a domain purchased through GoDaddy to a WordPress.com blog. Is that what you’re trying to do?

  http://kindasomething.com/ appears to be working properly.

  It can take domain changes up to 72 hours (though usually much less) to propagate to your ISP. Unfortunately, we have no control over this as it all depends on how often your ISP refreshes their DNS cache.
