  I cannot get any help from Google in changing my DNS to WordPress. If I can’t change my blog to WordPress, I would like a refund.

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

  Actually, the website is http://www.bewarethegingerninja.com, not my new gingerninja828.wordpress.com.

  Hello there, You’ll need to map your WordPress.com site with the registrar of bewarethegingerninja.com/. The public records show that your domain registrar is: http://www.enom.com. (Google is an awesome search engine, but it isn’t your domain registrar!)

  If you’re not certain how to change your Domain’s settings, you can contact enom.com and ask the following:

  I would like to use my domain with a WordPress.com site. In order to do this, I need to point my domain’s name servers to the following:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  I do not want to transfer my domain, but want to leave it registered with you. WordPress.com does not permit mapping by setting an A record to point to an IP address. They require the name servers to be updated as described.

  Once you’ve updated your name servers, it can take some time for the change to take full effect (up to 72 hours, but normally much less). If you notice that you still see your old holding page or an error message when you load your domain, don’t panic.

  Once you’ve completed that process with enom.com, you can return to your Dashboard at WordPress.com, click Store → My Domains. Then select bewarethegingerninja.com as your primary domain and save your changes.

  I know it seems overwhelming, especially when the jargon is new, but let us know how we can help. Best of luck!
