Just registered a domain but I can't see my blog
-
Hey All, I just registered a domain with wordpress (www.fishonacamel.com) but I can’t see the wordpress blog. I wrote up a test post on WordPress but nothing comes up. When I click on it, or type in the address I get the following:
<<This webpage is not available
The server at fishonacamel.com can’t be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the web service that translates a website’s name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
Check your Internet connection. Reboot any routers, modems, or other network devices you may be using.
Check your DNS settings. Contact your network administrator if you’re not sure what this means.
Try disabling network prediction by following these steps: Go to Wrench menu > Preferences > Under the Hood and deselect “Predict network actions to improve page load performance.” If this does not resolve the issue, we recommend selecting this option again for improved performance.
Try adding Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall or antivirus software’s settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or check with your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
If you don’t believe you should be using a proxy server, try the following steps: Go to Applications > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and deselect any proxies that have been selected.>>Can anyone offer some advice as to what to do?

Firstly, it can take up to 72 hours for the new domain name to propagate throughout all the nameservers on the internet. Some ISPs update continuously and some only update occasionally. How long it takes for it to show up for you is entirely dependent on your ISP. Generally though it all happens in 24 hours or less.
Secondly, there is no “WWW” in domain names (original or mapped names) here at wordpress.COM, so your domain name is http://fishonacamel.com/ . Anyone putting in the www will be redirected automatically though.
I’m seeing your blog just fine at http://fishonacamel.com/ . It is using the twenty eleven theme and the header image has two camels in it. Just be patient, the propagation is under way.
