  I have attempted to transfer my domain (purchased yesterday) to BlueHost so I could use wordpress.org, but was told there is a waiting period of 60 days for this to happen. Is there a way around this? I am trying to start a business and would like to get going as soon as possible.

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

  There is no way around the ICANN regulation. Domains can’t be transferred within 60 days of purchase. There’s nothing you can do to remove that barrier to transfer at this time. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/#more-information

  You can of course simply re-point the nameservers.

  As you suggested, I am using Bluehost for my hosting site. The tech team of Bluehost and myself have tried to manage WP function of the site. Your information of my URL, admin site, password etc is not recognized. especially the URL:
  wordpress.mediaentourage.com
  mediaentourage-thebuzzintellect.com
  please assist me. maybe there is something I am supposed to do on this side of the admin side.
