  Hi,

  I get the following error:
  > Sorry but advokatstabenfeldt.no has not been registered yet therefore cannot be mapped.

  A whois advokatstabenfeldt.no or host www.advokatstabenfeldt.no reveils that it exists.

  How can I add this domain?

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

  Yes, I have not pointed http://www.advokatstabenfeldt.no to wordpress.com yet. I guess a CNAME to “stabenfeldtblog.wordpress.com” should be enough?

  Hello –

  I’ve set up that mapping for you and set it to expire in one week. Before then can you go in and renew it for the full year?

  Then you’ll need to update the name servers with your domain registrar. This article explains how:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  The name servers for WordPress.com are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  If you’re not sure how to change them, please contact your registrar for assistance.

  Once you have updated the name servers, it may take up to 48 hours for the domain to be pointed to your WordPress.com site.
