  I just bought my own domain name through blue host and linked it up with wordpress and then started my theme and posted my first post but the link keeps coming up as a generic blog and not the one I chose, how can I get it working properly?

  Hi there!

  I just visited your site at http://www.coutureandchandeliers.com/ and it looks to be running a self-hosted installation of WordPress which can be found at http://wordpress.org/.

  Did you mean to use this domain with your WordPress.com site? If so, you need to update your domain nameservers (DNS) to point to your WordPress.com site. You’ll need to change your nameservers to the following:
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  If you’re not sure how, you’ll need to contact your registrar for assistance. Please note it may take 24-48 hours for any DNS changes to fully take effect.

  Let me know if you have any questions!

  Since you’ve already purchased the domain mapping upgrade, you don’t need to do anything else on this end!

  Once the nameserver changes take effect, the domain will point to your WordPress.com site.

  Let me know if you still need help on our end! :)
