  I just purchased shhshomeandschool.org but it only shows up as http://shhshomeandschool.wordpress.com when I load it. Does it take awhile to get properly registered or have I screwed something up?
  Blog url: http://shhshomeandschool.wordpress.com/

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

  Does it take awhile to get properly registered

  Yes it takes time – 24 to 72 hours for changes to reach the far corners of the internet – shhshomeandschool.org – does send me to shhshomeandschool.wordpress.com

  or have I screwed something up?

  Yes – A little bit – you need to set your Primary blog name – see below for instructions

  Then take a walk or get a cup of coffee or whatever – you will also be the last one to see the changes because of caching issues

  Thank you, auxclass. I set up my primary as per provided link, and now I will go for a walk. Hope the pebble is there when I get back.

  You be welcome

  shhshomeandschool.org – now loads to than name showing in the browser – also remember that when you are logged into the Dashboard you will always see the base WordPress.COM blog ( shhshomeandschool.wordpress.com in your case)
