    I have bought the domain magnificentmountains.com from godaddy.

    I’ve not done anything with it so far. I just bought the premium version of wordpress and tried to map it to my domain and it says this:
    Sorry but magnificentmountains.com is already mapped to a WordPress.com blog.

    how do I fix that?

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

    Non-WordPress.com Nameservers

    Although magnificentmountains.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up. If you wish to host your site at WordPress.com, you will need to update your nameservers as outlined below.

    We require that your name server configuration include only the following servers or their numeric equivalents:

    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    Your name servers are as follows:

    NS55.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
    NS56.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

    If you have access to change the nameservers for this domain, please remove all nameservers not on the required list above.

    After you set the nameservers correctly know that 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 magnificentmountains.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.

    It is not unusual for the last place to flush their DNS caches to be your own ISP. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during this stage is to be patient.

    Timethief is correct. I’m seeing things as being set up correctly on the WordPress.com end. But the domain’s nameservers are not yet pointing to WordPress.com.
