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

  Hi there,

  Please see: Important Notes Before Upgrading, first http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  Then see http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/ for mapping an existing domain that you already own

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
