  Hey,

  I started a WordPress site for a business I work for, but they had an existing site. To be able to keep the domain name I mapped the existing one to WordPress, but I just want the domain not the old site. How can I use the mapped domain but keep using the WP theme and dashboard? Please help!!

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

  Seems to me like you’ve succeeded. If I click on your WordPress.com address above I get taken to your WordPress.com blog, but in the address bar it shows http://bozemankitchenandbath.com/ All you need to do now is to start filling the site with content.

  If you need more help, feel free to ask.

  When I look at it, it is still the old site with a black background and yellowish box. Are you seeing the white, WP site?

  http://bozemankitchenandbath.com/ – loads fine for me to a WordPress.COM site – – Take a long walk (serious) while changed migrate across the internet – takes time and you will be the last one to see the changes

  Hold Your Horses!

  It can take as long as 72 hours for DNS changes to become widely available. If you’re still not seeing your site loading at bozemankitchenandbath.com, please wait a few more hours, clear your browser cache, and try again.
