I cannot get to my website typing my domain name in the browser address field.
-
I started my website on godaddy purchasing a domain name, tmactrainingandnutrition.com, at the same time. I quickly realized I could not use their website for what my client needs are so switched over to a website on wordpress. The godaddy team assisted me to ensure that the website domain address would stay the same. I have waited 3 days, and when I type the domain in the browser address it states that it cannot find the website. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Godaddy only gave you half the answer – you also need to map the domain to a blog here

You also need to read the Terms of Service to make sure what you want to do is allowed here

In the original post: tmactrainingandnutrition.com – which is how I found out that they have no domain mapping

Your domain is pointing to WordPress but, You did not pay for mapping the domain to your blog, You have to pay GoDaddy for the domain and WP.com 13$ to allow the domain mapping.

Please let me clue you into something. Your time would be better spent on your site than on answering questions here. There are longtime Volunteers like myself raincoaster, justjennifer, auxclass, etc. here who answer support questions. Raincoaster and I have done so for over 8 years now and though anyone can answer support questions it’s a PITA for us Volunteers to have to go behind every hot to to trot wannbe Volunteer or wannbe Staff and tailgate every answer and correct them when they are wrong.Unless you have a 100% for sure correct answer that you can back up with links to threads Staff and the regular Volunteers have previously posted or to support documentation do us all a favor please. Spend your time elsewhere please so we aren’t wasting our time and those who want answers get the correct ones quickly. While I’m at it please also note that you are free to answer questions over at http://wordpress.org/support/.

Following up on auxclass’s reply above.
Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
All About Domains http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
As 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.
See here as you already own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
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.

Oh, You mean that I should verify that no one answered before me and to double check my answer??
-
@3bdelra7man262 – you just tailgated my exact answer with enough time after mine to know that your answer added nothing and just repeated what I had already posted, that after you had failed to read the original post – no value added
-
I’m sorry, I didn’t see, I saw your post after reloading the page after I wrote my post, I will try to improve while answering, However I will not get here every day, I had a holiday today, Sorry again, I did not mean downplay you.

Use the tag search utility https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/ and the support docs http://en.support.wordpress.com/ and post supporting backlinks into any answer you post into any thread on these support forums please. -

You should not feel like you have to stop answering questions. We’re working toward creating a more welcoming community here, and you should absolutely feel welcome to reply. I’ve seen lots of other people accidentally duplicate a reply if they didn’t refresh the page before answering. It’s okay if that happens sometimes! Most often, I just reply again and say something like, “Sorry, I didn’t see that someone else already replied before me!”
I reviewed your account, and I can see from your answers that you are trying to help and it looks to me like the vast majority of your replies are spot on.
Please don’t let other volunteers make you feel unwelcome!
