  Hi,
  I’m in the process from moving my blog http://www.dermdiaries.com to being hosted by dreamhost. I did the one click installation through dreamhost and was told in an email that the installation was successful. When I try to log into http://dermdiaries.com/wp-login.php I get redirected to http://dermdiaries.wordpress.com/wp-login.php.
  Also, when I try to create an admin at http://www.dermdiaries.com/wp-admin/install.php I get an error message.
  What am I missing? Thank you for any help.

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

  Your domain’s nameservers are still pointed here. You’ll need to change your domain’s nameservers through your registrar to point to Dreamhost.

  I’m sorry I am a true beginner here. Where do I find my registrar? Is it through wordpress.com or dreamhost?

  Your registrar is whoever you purchased dermdiaries.com from. All that I can say for sure is that it wasn’t us.

  I thought I purchased it on wordpress.com through “add domain”. Is this not possible?

  You purchased dermatologydiaries.com through us, but not dermdiaries.com.

  OK, my partner purchased it then. I’ll look into it through her acct.

  Hi can you help explain how I move my domain’s nameserver through my registrar to Dreamhost? http://www.dermdiaries.com. Maybe there is a tutorial I can view. Thank you so much for your patience!

  Try: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/

  But you must be logged into the account that purchased the domain.

  A whois search still shows your domain dermdiaries.com pointing to WordPress.COM

  http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois/?tool_id=66&token=&toolhandler_redirect=0&ip=dermdiaries.com

  You need to update the nameservers as noted above
