  I changed some settings late in the day yesterday (when I was tired) and now my blog won’t come up when the URL is typed. I had a friend who works in IT look at the address issues and he seemed to have fixed them, but he read that it may not be corrected for up to 72 hours. I need to know if everything is OK with the site.

  Domain mapping on the site http://metromonthly.net is not working correctly, as you seem to have activated a domain masking service through your domain registrar.

  I suggest you go into your domain registrar’s control panel and deactivate that, and set the name servers back to these:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  Please be sure to first read our guide to mapping an existing domain – especially the heads-up about any email accounts you may have on the domain.

  Let me know if you need further help.
