  Hi there. To point your domain name hdiqi.org to your blog http://hdiqi.wordpress.com/ , please go to Store > Domains and activate your free domain mapping included in your Value Bundle. You can find detailed instructions on mapping an existing domain here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Jenia,
  I have been trying to follow the instructions, but I just don’t understand.
  Is there any way you can walk me through step by step?
  thx

  Hi there,

  Sure!

  First, you want to go to your Domains page. It can be found by navigating to your Dashboard > Store > Domains (or click the link):
  https://hdiqi.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  There, you will see an option to select your domain hdiqi.org – you want to select it, and click “Update primary domain.”

  It will take a short while for the mapping to propagate through the internet (you may have to wait up to a few hours, but for many people it is instant). Then the domain should lead straight to your blog!

  Let us know if you have any additional problems completing these steps; we’ll be happy to help.

  Hi there,

  It appears that you have your nameservers set to:
  ns3.dreamhost.com, ns2.dreamhost.com, ns1.dreamhost.com

  You need to change these to
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  You will need to go to your registrar and log in. There you will see an option to edit your domain settings. You will want to select the name server option and then change them to the WordPress.com nameservers (shown above) and save. Once those propagate, your site will be available!

  Cheers!

  Folks,
  Thanks for your help. Since I made the changes, my email (email visible only to moderators and staff), has disappeared. Can’t find a way to get it back.

  Hi there,

  You may have to do some editing to get the email re-set up. Here’s the support page for adding email to your site:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

  For each of the options (including “other” if your email isn’t through one of the services listed), you’ll see a “connect” link; since you already have an email account, you can skip the first step and use that step instead.

  Let me know if that helps you, or if something isn’t clear!

  I’m not familiar with squirrel mail, but give these directions a try:

  Let me know if you get hung up on a particular step!
