I'm new and not sure where to start- having domain name issues
-
I originally thought I purchased http://www.pword.org from wordpress.com ($99 fee) but when I was finished my web address showed http://pworddotorg.wordpress.com. Under this new website I got http://www.pword.org for free but when I click on it google chrome comes up: opps! could not find pword.org… I set both accounts to private for now because I’m not ready to publish anything and I’m just learning about wordpress. Maybe I jumped the gun but didn’t want to lose the address. I need serious help! I appreciate any advice!
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It can take anywhere up to 72 hours for a domain name to propagate to all the internet nameservers around the world. When I try going to http://pword.org/ (there is no WWW in any URL associated with a wordpress.com site) I am sent to a protected blog page here. If I click on http://pworddotorg.wordpress.com/ , it takes me to the same page, so the propagation is under way.
The dashboard for your site here will always reflect the original wordpress.com subdomain of http://pworddotorg.wordpress.com/ . That is because the dashboard URLs have to be absolute and go to a specific location on the wordpress servers. All public pages though will show the domain name you purchased.
Give things a day and everything should be pretty much settled down for you as far as the domain name goes.

Thank you so much! I’ve been doing some reading and I think I’m figuring it out. I really appreciate the feedback.
