  A few days ago I purchased a custom domain name. I paid $13 to WordPress to map that name. At that time my primary was writeouttamyhead.wordpress.com. that isn’t the blog
  I want to use for the custom URL. I emailed the host and asked them not to transfer the domain name. then I deleted all but the relevant blog site and made as primary my desired blog. So far, it hasn’t shown up and I’m getting a “authors have deleted this site” when I enter my custom name. If I wait a while will I see the correct transfer? Or have I screwed the pooch?

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

  Since your domain mapping is pointing to a deleted blog (writeouttamyhead.wordpress.com), I believe a WordPress.com staff member will need to step in to fix it. I’ve tagged this thread for their attention.

  Thank you. I will need some staff help with this issue. The blog I want the name pointed at is now my primary but that isn’t helping.
