  I thought when I created this link that I was linking my Yahoo website to my wordpress blog. But now every time someone types in my Yahoo website address eskinnerministries.org this word press site comes up http://www.eskinnerministries.org/. I don’t want or need another website. I made a mistake and if I can’t remove the wordpress site I will have to delete the whole thing, and I really like my blog at http://eskinnerministries.wordpress.com/. Can I get rid of the eskinnerministries.org word press site without having to delete my blog?

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

  It sounds like you may have accidentally “mapped” the URL for your Yahoo website to a new WordPress site. But to know for sure I need to ask you a few questions.

  1) Could you tell me what you mean by “when I created this link”? What did you hope/expect to happen?

  2) Did you own the domain http://www.eskinnerministries.org/ before you started the process described above?

  3) At any time during the program, did you follow instructions like the ones below to “map your domain?”

  Once I have a better understanding of what you were trying to do, we should be able to figure out how to undo what happened and get you back on the right path.
