  I went onto godaddy and put in the mapping info, but I don’t think it worked.

  The nameservers for right-reason.com are still set up for Godaddy – you will need to change them to point to the WordPress.com nameservers before the mapping will work.

  I went in to godaddy and did that 2 days ago.

  It appears as though the nameservers were never changed. Here is what I see:

  dig +short ns right-reason.com
  ns78.domaincontrol.com.
  ns77.domaincontrol.com.

  You can also check this by going to http://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/right-reason.com

  Could you please try updating the nameservers at Godaddy again? When name servers are updated, it can take some time for the change to take full effect (up to 72 hours, but normally much less).

  Ok, I am confused. On godaddy there are several columns for different things. Do I just go to the bottom one that changes the nameservers? I did the top on where it says HOST.

  Yes, you will need to go to the bottom one and change the nameservers from the ns78.domaincontrol.com, ns77.domaincontrol.com to ns1.wordpresscom, ns2.wordpress.com, and ns3.wordpress.com.
