  Hi there,

  How about you providing the exact URLs so we know what you are referring to and can assist you please? Otherwise, this thread will remain “dead in the water”.

  I can’t find the blog. It used to be equationhappy.com but this domain expired. I repurchased this domain last night through Godaddy and am unsure of how to recover the blog/website that was created via wordpress.

  re: mapping to an existing domain from a .wordpress.com blog
  Please read this first Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.

  Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium ujpgrade bundle.

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.

  If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
