  Hi.
  I am having issues with my new website I created a few days ago. It’s http://www.beyondgrayskies.com. I paid for the domain name, and I can go to my dashboard (I have a few different blogs…) for THIS in particular site, but once I clock “view site”, and even just type this web address and enter, “search-error” comes up. I’m not sure if I’m missing something, or if something is up with wordpress. My other sites some up perfectly fine.
  Thank you for any help you can give. Much appreciated.
  And I juuuuust realized that below this contact forum, where you’re supposed to choose one of my blog URLs, it doesn’t even give me the option of http://www.beyondgrayskies.com…(I clicked the beyondgrayskiesdotcom.wordpress.com, which was an account that I just deleted…..)

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

  Hi there!

  It looks like purchased only Domain Mapping rather than registering your new domain. I’m going to refund your purchase so you can register the domain completely.

  To register this domain select “Register a New Domain” here:

  https://wordpress.com/domains

  And I juuuuust realized that below this contact forum, where you’re supposed to choose one of my blog URLs, it doesn’t even give me the option of http://www.beyondgrayskies.com…(I clicked the beyondgrayskiesdotcom.wordpress.com, which was an account that I just deleted…..)

  The beyondgrayskiesdotcom.wordpress.com address is an address that is created when you create your site.

  If you purchase a custom domain like beyondgrayskies.com, the WordPress.com address becomes purely for your benefit, as the WordPress.com name will be invisible to the visitors to your site.

  Does that clarify things? Please let me know if you have any other questions.
