Why isn't domain mapping working?

  I paid for an upgrade to have worldmeetworld.com go to my blog worldmeetworld.wordpress.com I received a notice and paid and then waited six hours. When worldmeetworld.com did not come up I thought that I would try making that my primary domain. After I did that neither worldmeetworld.wordpress.com nor worldmeetworld.com worked at all and now my blog is completely down. What do I do?
  Blog url: http://worldmeetworld.wordpress.com/

  I did switch back to worldmeetworld.wordpress.com as my primary domain but it no longer goes to the site either.

  It looks like you forwarded http://worldmeetworld.com/ to http://ns1.wordpress.com/ rather than change the nameservers.

  Per the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ you need to change your nameservers to:

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