  Hi Andrea!

  Your site is live and well at https://bruyereday.wordpress.com/

  Your privacy settings are set so that people and search engines can see your content. I also viewed your site just now and it looks great:

  Hi,

  I’ve paid extra to ensure the site name is bruyereday.ca

  We have an event with a lot of promo items around this URL…

  How can I point this to my hosting site?

  Thanks.

  I see that bruyereday.ca has already been registered, I assume that it was you who purchased it. The next step is you’ll need to map that domain to WordPress.com using name servers. This article explains how:

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

  You’ll need to add the Domain Mapping upgrade here at WordPress.com. Since you have the Premium plan there will be no additional cost for this.

  After that, you’ll need to the name servers at the registrar where you bought the domain.

  The name servers for WordPress.com are:

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

  If you can’t find how to change them at your registrar’s settings, that support link includes an example email you can send to your registrar for assistance.

  Once you have updated the name servers, it may take up to 72 hours for the domain to be pointed to your WordPress.com site.
