  Trying to point my domain to a new server, I mistakenly put in the wrong DNS. Now, the site is stuck in cyberspace and I can no longer edit it using Store>Domains. Can you help me direct mindfuladvocacy.org to:

  ns1.siteground253.com
  ns2.siteground253.com

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

  Hi there,

  I just changed your name servers for mindfuladvocacy.org to the two you mentioned, so you’re all set there. (Please note it can take up to 72 hours for that change to take effect across the internet.)

  If you ever need to change those again, you can do it by logging in to WordPress.com and heading to your My Blogs page. From there, you can click the “Domains” link to get to your My Domains page, where you can edit the domain settings.

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

  Thank you! I am VERY GRATEFUL!

  I logged back into WordPress >My Blogs>Domains to check the route you suggest, and the mindfuladvocacy.org domain is still gone. Will it be coming back with the changes you made? Otherwise, how else can I find it in the future?

  Hi there,

  You’ll need to make sure you go the Domains link for the WordPress.com blog your domain is linked to. Your domain mindfuladvocacy.org is linked to your WordPress.com blog mindfuladvocacydotorg.wordpress.com (titled “Community of Mindfulness-based Advocacy), so you’ll need to click the Domains link under that blog on your My Blogs page.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions about that. :)
