Problems redirecting blog?

    I have problems trying to redirect the old http://miketheblacksheep.wordpress.com/ blog to the new http://michaelwillow.com/

    When I add the new domain http://michaelwillow.com/ it gives me a list of errors
    Possible problem with michaelwillow.com

    We were unable to verify that michaelwillow.com is pointing to WordPress.com. If you own this domain, follow the directions below to get it ready for your blog. If you don’t own it, try a different name to see if something else is available. If the domain is available, you may be able to register it with another registrar and then map it to your blog.
    How to fix it

    Using the DNS tools provided by your domain registrar, remove any existing nameservers and add the following:

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

    Then come back here and try again. It may take several hours for our system to recognize the changes.

    I own the domain but I don’t understand what I have to do with this. What is the domain registrar? Where I have to put those codes? Where and when should I pay for that?

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

    The domain registrar is the company you bought the domain name through. You have to change the nameserver settings there over to the wordpress name servers. Then that change will take between 24-72 hours to make it all the way through the DNS servers on the internet. Typically though it is only 24 hours or so.
