How do I point wordpress purchased domain name to other site?

Hi. I bought “danielyounathan.com” through wordpress. I have a different site that I would like to use the aforementioned domain name for. How do I point it from wordpress to the new site?
Thank you!

You can point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), with these steps:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/You’ll need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)
I hope this helps – let me know if you have any more questions!

thanks for your help. the two sites give me inconclusive instructions. at least i can’t put the two together in my head. i have a flavors.me site: “flavors.me/danielyounathan”. the flavors site doesn’t give me a nameserver value. however it gives me an ip address–184.73.237.244–and asks me to make and a record. i don’t know what that is. or how to make one on wordpress. it doesn’t say what to do next or how that will give me a nameserver value. flavors specifically states that i will not need to change the nameserver value. i’m so confused. please help.

Okay, I have made that change for you and your domain should be pointing to 184.73.237.244 shortly (DNS updates can take up to 72 hours to propagate)
