  I followed all steps to map my domain name and it shows in settings as my primary domain. Set up headers and did my first post (yesterday). Yet site is not showing up at all. Tried 3 different browsers. Any suggestions?

  I just registered and paid for the domain a few days ago. Not sure what you mean.

  I added DNS servers to name.com and it seemed to do the trick. Thanks.

  Hello MusicWriter!

  I checked your domain and saw that you added the WordPress.com name servers, but you still have name.com servers, you can delete them. This DNS changes can take up to 72 hours to work, that’s why you weren’t seeing your site before.

  Here is more information that can be useful:

  Thank you very much carinapilar. Everything seems fine but when I paste a link to the blog on my Facebook page the thumbnail pic is blank. Would you happen to know how to correct this?

  That has been answered in anther thread.Please do not post into multiple threads on the same issue. From

  You haven’t published any posts here http://mypaintedbunting.com/
  You uploaded a header image and that’s all. Go to https://wordpress.com/themes/edin/ and learn how to set up your theme.

  Go to the support docs here https://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
