  Are you referring to moving blog content or to the URL?
  Please be specific and descriptive.

  Basically we have a website already set up but its not very good, so I have started over by creating a wordpress blog to serve as our new website. As of now both websites are in existence. What we would like to do is seemlessly transition onto the wordpress site, by using the same url, fair haven-farm.com. Does that clear things up?

  If you would like to use your domain you will first need to purchase a domain mapping upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/ set up domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up 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.
