new blog / parked domain name
-
I would like to create a new blog and use a domain name that I just purchased through GoDaddy. It is parked and not associated with any website.
Now that I am trying to get started, I see that it would have been much easier to purchase the domain through WordPress. But since I have have the domain name, what is the best way to proceed for a blog that has not yet been registered/created? Do I just set it up with ‘my domain name at wordpress.com’ first and then purchase the domain mapping upgrade to change it, or is there a better way to do this? -
Create the blog here, and then get the domain mapping upgrade.

Do note that from the time you unpark and point the domain name to the wordpress servers, it will take approximately 24 hours (to as much as 72) for the DNS change to work its way through all the worlds name servers (typically it takes 24 hours or less).
