  GoDaddy says they need you to accept the domain I already have registered. I followed your directions to allow the domain names to lead to my wordpress- but it wasnt working so I followed with them and they said something with WP wasnt accepting it?

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com can’t accept incoming domain transfers, so you’ll need to make sure that you keep your domain registered at GoDaddy. You can use your domain with your WordPress.com site by mapping the domain so it points to your site. We have a guide for how to do that here: Map an Existing Domain

  Please let me know if you have any questions! :)
