  Have you purchased the Domain Mapping upgrade? If not, it won’t work.

  Your domain appears to be working properly. This link shows what I see at your domain http://www.annesimpson.net.

  When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, you may also receive a warning message in your browser about “redirect errors”. Unfortunately, we have no control over this as it all depends on how often your internet service provider updates their records. Please rest assured that everything is proceeding normally with your domain.

  You can continue to update your site while your custom domain propagates, by going directly to your Dashboard, here:
  https://annesimpsonauthor.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  If you still have trouble viewing the site after 72 hours has passed, please try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies:

  If that doesn’t work, try clearing your local DNS cache:

  Please let me know if you have any more questions.

  Thank you I noticed it did start working a short while after I asked for help. I have not gotten the XT or whatever it I needed to get from my domain provider, all I have done is directed the URL and I have added wordpress to the nae server and to the mass DNS. I find it too much for me to work it all out. Is there a way that I can transfer my annesimpson.net to be with Word Press as I want to make sure everything is running smoothly, and I think it would cause me less problems in the long run – or should I wait for the renewal next year and allow it to expire then pick it up and register it through Word Press, I just don’t want anyone else to get it.

  I don’t think I will be leaving Word Press as it seems far superior to the numerous sites and blogs I have tried, and I can see myself making this my permanent home.

  Thanks for your confidence of WordPress.com.
  While we register new domains here at WordPress.com, we’re not able to accept incoming transfers of existing domain names. We therefore recommend that you keep the name registered at your current registrar.

  Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
