  i hope the title says most of it. i am pretty close to a novice with this stuff.

  i bought my domain name from wordpress earlier this year, but just recently transferred it to another place, so it is now hosted by fatcow.com.

  the transfer went through, so now fatcow has the domain name, not wordpress.

  but in wordpress dashboard, the site — brcohen.net — still goes back here to my wordpress page.

  i was told by the tech support at fatcow to point the page to:
  ns1.fatcow.com
  and
  ns2.fatcow.com

  but i don’t know how to do that.

  can anyone help? it seems like this should be easy.

  hopefully,
  ben

  You go to your WP.com dashboard, then to Upgrades, Domains, Domain Management, and change it there. It’s not difficult.

  thank you, raincoaster.

  but am i missing something on my screen? i went to “domain” in my dashboard, but there was no option for “domain management.” the only thing i can click on at that page is “Edit DNS.”

  You are not the only one, Ben. I am having exactly the same problem. The help page directs you to admin but there is no admin link under Settings>>Domains
