  I have purchased a domain name from dreamhost and I am not sure if it has been mapped and pointing to wordpress correctly. It doesn’t appear as a website when I search for it.

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

  Hello there!

  I just checked the whois details of your domain – it looks like your domain is not pointing to your WordPress.com blog yet.

  To map a domain to a WordPress.com blog, you should purchase the Domain Mapping upgrade, first. You can do this by visiting the WordPress Domains page, and choose the ‘Map an Existing Domain’ option there. After entering the details of your domain (theinspiredtaste.com), log in to your Dreamhost account and update the nameservers to the default WordPress nameservers which are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  This link explains in detail about Domain Mapping using WordPress:

  You might also want to check the Dreamhost Wiki article on how to change your domain’s nameservers:
  http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Nameservers#How_to_change_the_domain.E2.80.99s_nameservers

  Please note that domain mapping is a paid upgrade to WordPress – it will cost you $13/year

  Hope this helps!

  Cheers!
  Hari.
