  Hello!
  I keep getting this error message “Your nameservers need to be set to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM and NS2.WORDPRESS.COM for these DNS records to work. If you have already updated the nameservers you can ignore this message; it will stop appearing soon.”

  I have no idea how to fix this.

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

  Non-WordPress.com Nameservers
  Although iwaitedblog.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.

  To learn about how to correctly map an existing domain, please see our documentation. If you’re not sure whether you own this domain or not, the WHOIS database record may help you out.

  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:

  NS71.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
  NS72.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
  If you have access to change the nameservers for this domain, please remove all nameservers not on the required list above.

  A DNS lookup for your blog returns the following information:
