  I own the url virtualpostcardsfromtheroad.com and can’t seem to access or edit it. Meanwhile, I was given virtualpostcardsfromtheroad.wordpress.com and have been editing that. I would very much like the first domain, since that is what I have paid for and it is easier to remember. What do I do to make this happen? Thanks!

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

  Hi there,

  From the Whois data, virtualpostcardsfromtheroad.com appears to be registered with Go Daddy.

  In order to use your domain hosted with Go Daddy with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at your domain host, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the mapping subscription upgrade so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
