  I used to self host this blog, but decided to switch back to hosting through wordpress. I renewed the domain registration through wordpress a few weeks ago, and thought everything was fine. However, when I went to access my site, it redirected to my former hosting company and told me to contact them. When I went to the my upgrades page, it said Domain not pointing to wordpress.com. When I changed the DNS settings the last time, I did it through wordpress, but I can’t find where to change it back to point to wordpress. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

  How long will it take for the changes to take effect? I’m showing it changed on the domain details page, but when I try to access my site, it is still redirecting to my old hosting site.

  http://writetolivelivetowrite.com/ – sends me to a WordPress.COM blog.

  Changes start after a few hours, it can take 24 to 72 hours to reach the far corners of the internet. You will probably be the last one to see the changes due to local caching issues. Try clearing your browser cache & forcing a page reload
