Recover and renew old account: janellprice.wordpress.com
-
I recently re-purchased the domain name janellprice.com from idotz. I want to blog under that name because I am a writer and it is the name I’m known by but your opening sign in tells me that name is taken. Actually, it WAS taken – by me, but due to illness I let it lapse.
I’m better now and want to resume posting as Janell Price with the intent of converting to a website here later. I want to stay with WordPress because it comes highly recommended and so I can convert to the paid, hosted account later.
Please help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Addendum – the blog I need help with is janellprice.wordpress.com NOT janellhprice.wordpress.com

Hi Janell.
WordPress.com doesn’t currently accept incoming domain transfers, however, you can map your domain to us by following our guide here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
From the above guide, you’ll see that the first step is to head to the Domains page in WordPress.com:
Select the second option on the above page to Map an Existing Domain. Then follow the screen prompts accordingly.
If you have any extra questions on this, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’ll be happy to help in any way I can.

I am told that for $13 I can have the name I want – JanellPrice.com. And if I have a coupon for less. Where do I find a coupon?
And does that mean JanellPrice.com will be my URL or will it have wordpress on the end?
Thanks a bunch?

I decided to go ahead and buy the “mapping.” However I don’t understand what to do here:
Update the name servers at your registrar. Enter these three separate entries:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COMDoes that mean to to idotz where I purchased my name originally or what? I went there and checked under “Transfer” and found no place to do as instructed.
Or is this somewhere on WordPress?
Thanks!

It looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=janellprice.com
Please go to your domain registrar’s site (1 API GMBH) and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

If you have additional questions, please let us know.
