  In order to map a domain you already own to a WordPress.com blog, you should update the name servers to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM, NS2.WORDPRESS.COM, and NS3.WORDPRESS.COM and then wait for that change to propagate throughout the internet. How long that takes depends on how often the ISP updates DNS against the master DNS databases, so it varies by location.

  Once the DNS has propagated, you can purchase a domain mapping upgrade to connect the domain to your WordPress.com blog:
