  So I choose to map a domain that I already own. I provided all the info wordpress asked for, paid the money, and nothing. I have the same FREE blog I had before.

  Appreciate some guidance here

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

  There are two steps involved: 1) set up domain mapping on WordPress.com to point to your content (which you said is done) and 2) change the name servers at the registrar where you purchased the domain. Here’s the the guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Once you’ve made the changes, it may take up to 72 hours for them to fully spread around the internet. During that time your domain name may become temporarily inaccessible.
