  I am trying to move my blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org and I have royally fucked things up.

  I transferred my domain to BlueHost, and I somehow managed to create a new blog under a different name on BlueHost before I got the URL transferred. I went in to WordPress.com to get the Domain Mapping taken off and now I cannot figure out what I did, but every time I try to create a new account on Mojo Market Place under the domain I want (running-on-healthy.com) it tells me I need to override it which I do, but then the account immediately goes to this message every time I click the link:

  “running-on-healthy.wordpress.com doesn’t exist

  The address running-on-healthy.wordpress.com cannot be registered. Only lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers are allowed. But you can sign up and choose another one.”

  I DONT GET IT! Could someone please provide me with a link of instructions on what I need to do to get these websites cooperating!? I don’t want to delete my old blog (runningonhealthyblog.wordpress.com) to get it all to work.

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

  Well, what you need are instructions to get your WP.org blog and Mojo Marketplace, whatever the hell that is, cooperating. There’s nothing whatsoever wrong with your WP.com blog http://runningonhealthyblog.wordpress.com/.

  http://running-on-healthy.com/ is a perfectly fine, perfectly empty WordPress.org site. Do not give Mojo Marketplace your WP.com details. They are not relevant.

  When I open http://running-on-healthy.com I somehow get forwarded to the following page:

  http://en.wordpress.com/typo/?subdomain=running-on-healthy

  and then I am unable to log in to my wordpress.org account to modify this page.

  I am sorry this is so confusing, I am usually decent with this kind of thing.

  How long ago did you move the domain name? It can take up to 72 hours for the DNS to settle down, and untiil then there is no point trying to do anything with it but wait.

  It was today. So that is hopefully the problem… Frustrating having to wait, but I appreciate your quick response to my dilemma.

  Yes, that’ll be the problem. Just wait it out and try again.
