  my domain name is divinebear.com, but when anyone goes to that address the it reads http://medicinewoman8.wordpress.com/ instead of divinebear.worpress.com. Is there any way to fix that?

  Did you purchase your domain from WordPress.com? Did you change the primary domain in the Domain Management dashboard.

  If you purchased the domain elsewhere, have you purchased the domain mapping upgrade to connect your domain to your WordPress.com site?

  Sorry, needed to look again.

  Are you domain forwarding divinebear.com from a different domain registrar? If so, you need to change the forwarding address on your domain registrar’s site.

  The Support site. There’s a big button on the right “Add a domain”.

  Thank you for your fast response, justjennifer!!!!!! I bought the domain name thru GoDaddy. I *think* I have changed it, but they say it takes 2 hours for it to be processed. I’m setting up another blog and hope I can do it right this time. I should have bought the DM thru WordPress. Will know next time. Thanks again!
