I cannot access the published version of my blog.
-
When I try to load my blog (as if I am the reader) I get an error message that sends me over to google. The screen says:
404. That’s an error.
The requested URL / was not found on this server. That’s all we know.
The domain also switches to an old blog URL by a similar name: http://dudeiamnotwoodward.com/
I do not understand what is happening. Here is my blogs url: http://iamnotwoodward.wordpress.com.
Thank you for your help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Note that this is a free blog devoid of any blogger created content being free hosted by WordPress.com http://chuckafire.wordpress.com/ Also note that free hosted WordPress.com blogs are the only blogs we provide support for here.
Although dudeiamnotwoodward.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up. If you wish to host your site at WordPress.com, you will need to update your nameservers as outlined below.
To learn about how to correctly map an existing domain, please see our documentation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing 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.

Sorry, I was not clear. I’ve been writing all day.
I do not need help with dudeiamnotwoodward.com. This is the blog domain that pops up when I click on http://iamnotwoodward.wordpress.com. The “dude” blog was from Blogger, a site I no longer have. I use wordpress.com now.
That said, the site I need your help with is http://iamnotwoodward.wordpress.com. After clicking it, I am pushed to the dudeiamnotwoodward.com site, not my wordpress.com blog. It This problem I need help with. I apologize for my lack of clarity.
Please let me know if the solution is the same. Thank you very much.

That’s not connecting to a WordPress.com blog. It looks like you could be asking for support with forwarding and masking and we don’t provide support for it. We provide support only for domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

Thanks for your response. I am not trying to map, forward or mask anything. I am simply trying to be able to pull up my wordpress.com blog without being pushed to google. The only blog I use is my wordpress.com. All of my posts are on my blog I have with you, http://iamnotwoodward.wordpress.com. I want to get this back.
The fact I am being pushed to the “dude” blog makes no sense because I deleted that one months ago and I have no intention on using it. I can get to my dashboard.
I do not understand why I am being pushed to a deleted google site when I have a legitimate wordpress.com domain name. Again, I just want to get this back, http://iamnotwoodward.wordpress.com.
Moreover, I cannot access my site on any device, computer, phone, etc. Perhaps there is an issue on your end. Please advise. Thanks.

Hello Anthony,
I have looked into your account and am able to provide some insight onto what happened.
The domain dudeiamnotwoodward.com was mapped to your WordPress.com blog http://iamnotwoodward.wordpress.com in May of 2013. Sometime after that the domain expired and the nameservers were updated away from WordPress.com. This resulted in you seeing the Google error page.
Your primary domain has been updated to your iamnotwoodward.wordpress.com domain. You may visit your site at the following URL: http://iamnotwoodward.wordpress.com/wp-admin
If you would me to remove the domain mapping from your account to avoid further confusion let me know.
