  Hello,

  I just wanted to ask I’m not very good with technical things but I purchased a domain from wordpress today and then decided I wanted a theme from etsy and the seller said I need a self-hosting account and he suggested Godaddy. I contacted and purchased one and they said I should contact wordpress to send my domain over, I think this is what he meant, he said it would usually take around 24 hours. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

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

  Thank you,

  I’ve managed to sort it but I’m slightly confused. When I log in do I log in from wordpress or from godaddy and whenever I post through godaddy I can’t seem to find my posts on wordpress? if this makes sense. Also I’m not sure if anyone can actually see my posts or even comment
