Trying to map my existing domain – please help!
-
I am having trouble mapping my domain name that I purchased through GoDaddy to my WordPress site. I followed the directions on the Domain Mapping page, updated the nameservers, etc at Go Daddy, waited the 72 hours and still no luck. For reference, my WordPress site is “lisajensenart.wordpress.com”, and I’d like to map it to “isajensenart.com” (Do I have to upgrade to a premium account to be able to do this?)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No, you’d like to map isajensenart.com to lisajensenart.wordpress.com. Precision is everything when dealing with domain names.
You need to purchase the domain mapping upgrade to get this to work. Have you done so?

No I have not purchased the upgrade (I can’t find where to do it!). The directions are confusing and inconsistent–I did at one point see that mapping a domain name is a $13.00 upgrade, but there was no link to where I’d purchase that upgrade. I’ve been looking around WordPress for the past 15 minutes and I cannot find how to purchase it.
On one page where I entered that I’d like to map lisajensenart.com to my WordPress site, it gave me the ok that it was indeed available, but then said I need to “select a plan for this site” in order to do this. The “select a plan” link takes me to a three-column table with the Beginner, Premium ($99/ yr), and Business ($299/yr) Plans, with no mention of how to just purchase the $13.00 upgrade. I tried going to “My Upgrades” on the right side bar to purchase it there, and that page is blank, because, well, I haven’t purchased any upgrades yet :) Do you know where I can purchase this? I’m really hoping I don’t have to upgrade my plan to Premium to be able to do so.
