  I have purchased a domain (site ground) and linked it to wordpress in order to create my blog.Now i can’t see the changes that i make on my blog (etc themes).My page site only displays the “coming soon” label.
  How can i upload my blog instead of the “coming soon”?

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

  Hi. The WordPress.com address linked to your username redirects to a blog hosted elsewhere, and no “coming soon” page, just a list of directories. If you installed WordPress on a hosting provider, the procedure is very different from WordPress.com and you need to go to http://wordpress.org/support/ for assistance, as we cannot help you here. For more info on the difference: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Other than media files, you cannot “upload” to WordPress.com because there is no FTP access. Any changes you make will have to be done by logging in to your dashboard on WordPress.com’s website (or with an offline editor such as Windows Live Writer).

  OK, now I went back to your address androidhellas.com and it’s displaying a “test” post on a WordPress.com blog. It can take a few hours (up to 72 hours, but usually much less) for the domain name to work properly everywhere around the world.

  You’ll go to http://androidhellas.com/wp-admin/ to access that site’s dashboard and make changes.

  Unless we are not talking about the same website. As I said earlier, I’m talking about androidhellas.com

  The blog linked to your name is domain mapped to http://androidhellas.com/ is empty and has a small “coming soon” tucked in the title block. loads fine for me also – you can have problems with local cache issues with your ISP and other routers.

  Take a walk, get a Latte, read a book – not joking – it can take 24 to 72 hours for the changes to migrate to the far corners of the internet, usually changes start sooner but there can be lingering places with the old information.
