  I bought http://www.forfarmandranchwomen.com with Weebly. I cancelled Weebly but kept the name. I have an epp code from Weebly for the name.

  I would now like to use the name with my wordpress pages but just keep directing back to the old Weebly site.

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

  Hey there,

  If you would like to map your Weebly domain to your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the name servers at Weebly. This way, your domain will “point” to your WordPress.com servers. The name servers should be:
  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  For more information about this, take a look at these instructions for mapping a domain you already own:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain

  I have an epp code from Weebly for the name.

  While we register new domains here at WordPress.com, we’re not able to accept incoming transfers of existing domain names. Therefore, we recommend that you keep the name registered at your current registrar. Or, if you’re not happy with their hosting, you can transfer the domain to another host, and map it to your WordPress.com site.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know. Many thanks!
