  I want to transfer my domain name, http://www.kathleenheady.com, which I own, to WordPress. So when some goes to that site they will see my blog/website at WordPress. I paid my $13. I was given a code by my previous web host but I don’t know what to do with it.
  Will what I am trying to do work? How do I handle this?

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

  Looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet. 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.COM

  Otherwise contact your domain registrar to help you set the name server records.

  Let us know if you have any questions!

  I did that, and I thought I was all set. But it seems that kathleenheady.com, without the www, takes me to my WordPress site. But with the www, or if it is put in automatically, it still goes to the old site. Arrggg!!
  Thanks for you help!

  I took a look and everything is working properly. Can you please try clearing out your cache?
