  In order for the domain margaretbritostoryteller.com to direct to your blog drmargaretbrito.wordpress.com, you’ll need to change your name servers to the following:

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

  Here’s GoDaddy’s guide to doing this. Select the second option:

  I have already done all you suggested. I also paid WordPress $13.00 for the masking.

  Your name servers are still set to GoDaddy.
