    I bought a domain name on godaddy.com and then set up a blog account on wordpress, but I cannot figure out how to link the two so that when you go to the domain name, it takes you to the actual blog, etc.

    please help.

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

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog. See here for mapping an existing domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
