  The blog can not be found on the web.
  The upgraded URL was not available for this email. The upgraded URL was tattoosbymatthewblog.com. I did check the web for both URL’s (the .wordpress.com and .com). I’m new to this and frustrated…

  Hi Matthew,

  Your *.wordpress.com address automatically appears on this form, as per our settings, but your domain mapping appears to be functioning correctly.

  Regarding searching for your site on the web, your blog will eventually be indexed by search engines unless you’ve chosen to block them under Settings->Privacy. It’s up to Google to decide when and how to include your site in search results:
