  My friends can’t access my website yet. How do I know if it is live yet?

  Hi!

  Could you provide a link to your website? Also, did you by any chance make your blog private?

  http://www.888mf.co.uk

  I don’t recall making it private but how would I check that?

  You can check that inside Settings -> General inside My Sites screen.

  Hm, it seems that both your WordPress.com domain (http://888mf.wordpress.com/) and your premium domain (http://www.888mf.co.uk/) are redirecting to WordPress.com.

  Could you please provide more details about how you setup the domain and which steps you took when you created your website with WordPress.com? Thanks!

  I set up as instructed. I bought the 888mf.co.uk domain from go daddy.

  Can an engineer go into my profile and find out what is wrong?

  I added modlook tag to this thread and a Happiness Engineer should take a look at it soon. Thanks for your patience!

  Hi there,

  It looks like your domain’s name servers are still pointed to GoDaddy. You will need to change those name servers to WordPress.com before your domain will work. You need to make that change at GoDaddy, so it’s not something we can help with.

  See this page for instructions how to do that:
