  Hello there!

  It appears that there was a minor issue preventing you from using your domain with our platform, but we have resolved that for you. Could you please try adding the domain again to check if the problem has been resolved?

  If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always ready to help. :)

  It still doesn’t work. nothing on wordpress.com works for me in any browser or platform that requires a domain name search. it isn’t a minor issue, i don’t think. I uploaded a screenshot of the error i encounter at https://www.dropbox.com/s/ktv96i3qm8yx0kr/Image%205-5-23%20at%205.48%20PM.jpg

  Just to clarify, are you trying to change the URL for paulgoddin.wordpress.com to godd.in? Or are you setting up a whole new blog with that URL?
