  I purchased the domain name: markholtshannon.com and I have no way to access this domain from my account. What’s wrong? I’ve reviewed several forum posts and I have no idea why I can access the website I created but can not perform any admin or in any way get to admin screens for this domain. Very frustrating.

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

  You will work in the Dashboard for markholtshannon.wordpress.com to make Posts and such – when logged in doing Admin stuff you will not see markholtshannon.com

  But if you visit the site you will see markholtshannon.com – that is the odd thing about Domain Mapping –

  I can get to markholtshannon.wordpress.com but it only shows tools for to other blogs that I am a user on – any attempt to map the markholtshannon.com domain to my user name tells me that the domain is already mapped but every email I’ve ever gotten in the process of buying the domain name I’ve done as the same user. I got through the initial blog setup wizard and can see the theme I chose when I go to markholtshannon.com – but logging in gives my no tools for that site or way to make it one of my sits. I’ve never done anything in wordpress.com logged in as any other user – but it seems that the blog for my markholtshannon.com site is linked to another user account or something weird like that…
