  I have chosen Hostgator as my hosting site for my blog trendelements.com. I was told that I would be able to upload themes and plugins but my dashboard hasnt changed. What am I doing wrong?

  Hi there, after changing your name servers to point to Hostgator, it may take several hours – sometimes up to 48 hours – to see your new site load on your domain.

  I’m currently seeing your self-hosted site here: http://trendelements.com/

  When you go to this address, do you see your new self-hosted site or your old WordPress.com site?

  If you see your new site, you should be able to login here and see your new dashboard:
  http://trendelements.com/wp-admin

  If you still see your old WordPress.com site, could you please try another browser? If you can see the new site in another browser, you may need to clear your cache on the old browser, or you may need to wait a little while longer for your ISP to update its domain name records.

  Let me know if you need further help.
