  Hi Guys, I ealier had my website pointed at the wordpress.com address I use for a site, but recently switched it to a simpler landing page while I was sorting a few things out.

  Now that I am good with everything and know which direction I want to head, is it possible to switch back to point at the wordpress.com site

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

  Certainly. The first thing you’ll need to do is change the DNS settings with your domain’s registrar, which appears to be Melbourne IT.

  You will need to update your domain’s “name servers” to the following:

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

  You can usually change your domain’s name servers at your registrar’s website. The exact process for updating your domain’s name servers is different for each domain registrar, but if you have any trouble, their support desk can help.

  Once you’ve updated your name servers, it can take some time for the change to take full effect (up to 72 hours, but normally much less). If you notice that you still see your old holding page or an error message when you load your domain, don’t panic.

  After the DNS settings take effect, the last step is return to WordPress.com and view the Dashboard for your blog. Click Store → My Domains. Change your primary domain to socialalchemy.com.au and save that change.

  I hope this helps! Best wishes to you.
