  Hi and thanks for your time. Recently I purchased the domain/tessf.com and am having trouble posting it to another website. And accessing it from the new address. Am wondering if I registered correctly.
  Thanks!

  (I did follow the steps for registering before asking.) Twice actually.

  You can check to see if your domain registered correctly by looking at the Store → Domains page in your blog dashboard. Note that the settings for new domains take a little time to propagate, and that’s why they are not set as the primary domain immediately. You should wait a few hours after registering and then update the primary domain option on your Store → Domains page.

  Thanks for responding. I’m sorry but after I click on store, I only see an option to buy a new domain. Aftter that, it’s just confusing. I think I already paid for these things with the 25 dollars. Lost still.

  It should be under Store → Domains. Are you looking at the right WordPress.com blog? Can you see it here? https://tessf.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains
