  I’m trying to move my wordpress.org (thegoldendonuts.com) site to wordpress.com. I uploaded the XML to the new wordpress.com blog (thegoldendonuts.wordpress.com), paid for domain mapping, updated the DNS on Bluehost, and have thegoldendonuts.com set as the primary domain.
  The problem is that when I write a new blog post it posts to thegoldendonuts.wordpress.com and not to http://www.thegoldendonuts.com. Also, all of the links that say, “view site” on wordpress.com go to my thegoldendonuts.com website on wordpress.org.

  So I have two unlinked blogs. I don’t know if this makes sense.

  Thanks!

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

  Congratulations! The nameservers appear to be set up correctly for thegoldendonuts.com. And, the Primary Blog is Set. thegoldendonuts.com is set as the primary domain for thegoldendonuts.wordpress.com and will appear in the address bar when you visit the site.

  I am in Canada and the redirect for mapping the domain is operational for me. 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 thegoldendonuts.com, please wait a few more hours, clear your browser cache, http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clear-your-cache-and-cookies and try again.
