  How do I find out the IP Address WordPress uses for my blog, it is currently hosted by GoDaddy, and when I type in the wordpress address it goes back to the parking page at GoDaddy.

  GoDaddy tell me that if I have te IP address it will point to right location

  Any help

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

  That is not the BLOG. That is a URL which is currently parked. Do you have a blog already registered at WordPress.com? If so, what is the address of the actual blog, starting with http.

  No, that goes to the same parked page. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Point a domain?

  Exactly what am I looking for here, it lists all of the available upgrade, in the domain section it list the domains I own

  Is this what you need to know?

  If you go to the Dashboard of your WP.com blog and click on Upgrades in the left sidebar, it will tell you which ones you’ve purchased and when they expire. And if you have the domain upgrade, it will tell you which URL you have set as primary.

  @asmarterlife, before WordPress.com domain mapping will work for a domain that you purchased at an outside registrar, you must update the DNS and change the name servers to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM, NS2.WORDPRESS.COM, and NS3.WORDPRESS.COM. Please go to your domain registrar and ask them for help updating the name servers. They should be able to help you with that. Note that it can take up to 72 hours (but usually only a few) for a change in DNS records to take full effect across the internet.

  I know how to change the domain name survers, but this then prevents my email name@asmarterlife working, is there no other way?

  I want to have both the email and address working at the same time

  Did you look at this? It is the only way with mapped domains here: http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/custom-email/

  @asmarterlife, your choices are to either 1) map yourdomain.com to your WordPress.com blog by updating the Name Servers and use Google Apps for email or 2) map a subdomain such as blog.yourdomain.com to your WordPress.com blog by setting up a CNAME record and changing the Name Servers to the hosting provider you would like to use for your email. You cannot have a WordPress.com-mapped domain and also use the email system of another provider. Google Apps is currently the only email service that works with WordPress.com-mapped domains using the WordPress.com Name Servers.
