Linking my Godaddy account with my blog
-
When I click for my site on the dash board it directs me to Godaddy. How do I connect my block with the domain that I own?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
It looks like you mapped the domain emil-lio.com to your WordPress.com site. However, the name servers for that domain are not pointed to WordPress.com.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host= emil-lio.com
Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM NS2.WORDPRESS.COM NS3.WORDPRESS.COMFor more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

Let me know if you have any questions!

It worked. THANKS! Some more Q’s:
How do you center a logo/image in the header section for the top of the blog? It always sets on the top left.
How can one add their own name of pages in the section where “About” and “Home” go?
Sorry…am new to this and it’s very important.

Howdy!
Great! I’m glad that worked. Please see the additional answers below:

Give this a try:
#branding hgroup { align-center: initial; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; }How can one add their own name of pages in the section where “About” and “Home” go?
I believe you’re referring to setting up a custom menu. If so, that is explained here:
That will allow you to customize the pages that are in your menu area as well as add your own pages. Can you look that over and let me know if that is what you were referring to?

Hi there,
You can place it under Dashboard -> Appearance -> Customize -> CSS.
Another option is to upload your header image already centered within the header element. For the best results, you’ll want to upload a header image that is 990 px in width. Then, you’ll want to center the header text within that element before uploading. Does that make sense?

Thanks. I got the first part but not the last, “Then, you’ll want to center the header text within that element before uploading. Does that make sense?”
Also still having trouble setting up the “names” for the menu bar and categories. I want to do a similar layout to http://architectonista.wordpress.com/ but am having trouble with setting the lines and social media icons as well.

Hi there,
Please see my answers below!
Thanks. I got the first part but not the last, “Then, you’ll want to center the header text within that element before uploading. Does that make sense?”
You’ll want to start with a canvas that is 990px in width. That’s the entire width of the header element on your theme. So, if you start with a canvas that big, you can mimic what the header image will look like.
Then, when you’re creating your graphic and placing it on the canvas, center it within the 990px.
Now, when you upload it, you’ll have a graphic that is already centered (since it’s centered before you upload). Effectively, you’re centering it before you upload. Does that make a bit more sense?
Also still having trouble setting up the “names” for the menu bar and categories. I want to do a similar layout to http://architectonista.wordpress.com/ but am having trouble with setting the lines and social media icons as well.
To get that look, you’ll want to set a custom menu as described here:
That will describe how you can add pages and categories to your menu as well as change the title and how they appear.
Regarding the social media icons, the site you mention used the instructions here to build their own widget:

Unfortunately, there isn’t a preset widget that includes these social icons. You’ll need to manually add them following the steps above!

Thank you. You’ve been most helpful. I could’ve never been able to navigate all of this on my own. But when someone patiently guides you, it starts to make sense.
