  I’m unsure whether my site is hosted through WordPress or not. I want to connect my new domain to this account.

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

  Are you trying to connect jessicaminckley.com to your http://jessicaminckley.wordpress.com/ site?

  No, it was already connected but I changed from GoDaddy to DreamHost for the domain hosting. I may have double hosted, though. I can’t figure it out.

  If you are trying to point jessicaminckley.com to your WordPress.com site, it looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=jessicaminckley.com

  Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

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

  If you are trying to point jessicaminckley.com to a self-hosted WordPress.org site, you will need to obtain the nameserver values from your webhost and then change them at your domain registrar. As you mentioned, the registrar for jessicaminckley.com is Dreamhost.
