  i want to switch a domain name to my blog. I have a blog named bodyberry.wordpress.com and a domain name bodyberry.com. I want to attach the domain name to the wordpress blog. For some reason there is another blog called my website which is already attached to my domain (bodyberry.com) and it is not letting me switch it.

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

  It looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=bodyberry.com

  Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

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

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  Let us know if you have any questions!

  i did all that and when i type in bodyberry.com it goes to my blog and the address shows bodyberry.wordpress.com. i want it to just say bodyberry.com when i type in bodyberry.com.

  Is there a way to delete the blog/account that I have called bodyberry.com. I can’t even get into the admin controls on that one.

  thanks

  I understand.

  bodyberry.wordpress.com jut didn’t have bodyberry.com set as it’s primary domain. I have fixed that for you and you should see bodyberry.com now when you go to the site. For future reference, to set your primary domain, log into your WordPress.com site’s dashboard and go to Store–>Domains.

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.
