  I can’t figure out how to add a domain I already own from Domain.com to work on wordpress?

  Hi,

  There are two steps to adding a domain you already own:

  First you need to add it to your Store > My Domains page so that it’s mapped to your WordPress.com site. I see that videoministry.tv is all set up, so you should be set there. :)

  Second, you need to point the domain to your WordPress.com site by changing the Name Server at domain.com. There is a guide to this part over here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  In short, you’ll need to log into your account at domain.com, and edit the DNS or Name Server information. The Name Servers need to read:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com

  Once this is done, after a slight delay, you should start seeing your WordPress.com site at the domain.

  Let me know if you have any specific questions!
