  I don’t see any problems with your site at http://realpennielane.wordpress.com, it’s looking OK to me…

  I’m sorry, I don’t understand this very well. My domain name is gone. When I type in the name of my website, it is pennielane.com and that is what is gone. It is there but not linked to my website domain. It says “domaine mapping expired 2 months ago? I also noticed that if I upgrade, I don’t have to have use (email visible only to moderators and staff). Is that correct? Will they allow my domain name to return?

  If I upgrade with
  Wordpress, then I can go back to using my domain name? I have about 6 more months with wordpress.

  It looks like pennielane.com is pointing to pennielane.wordpress.com, but is not active. Does that one also belong to you?

  I’ve added a modlook tag to this thread so the WordPress.com people can better help you with this.

  Howdy!

  Your domain mapping upgrade for pennielane.com expired from y our account back in August. This is an upgrade that needs renewed annually. You will want to add the mapping back to your account to get the domain up and working again. Remember, that each year, you’ll need to renew your domain registration through the registrar and then also renew the mapping here at WordPress.com.

  Go to My Sites > Domains > Add Domain > Map it

  Let me know if you run into any trouble with this. Here are the full instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
