using the domain I already own

I already own the domain historicalconstitution.com and want to put my blog there. I do NOT need to buy it through WordPress. How do I manage this?
Thank you in advance for your help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
If you already own a domain then you purchase a domain mapping upgrade to use it in conjunction with your .wordpress.com blog.Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.
See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
