We want to point another site to our wordpress blog
-
We configured the nameservers of tahilan.org (we used ns1.wordpress.com and ns2.wordpress.com) for domain name tahilan.com so that it points to tahilan.org but tahilan.com still did not go online even after 72 hours. Why is this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You also need to map the domain $ 13.- / year

I see. The site tahilan.com is supposed to expire on September 2014. So we just wait for it to expire and then we can change tahilan.org to tahilan.com by then?

DON’T LET THE DOMAIN EXPIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!
you might not get the name back – someone else might grab the name and use it or hold it hostage
You have the name servers changed to WordPress.COM – just do the domain mapping and the name will start working like you want it to.
You can have tahilan.org take visitors to your blog here

Listen to auxclass. Do not let the domain expire! A domain name squatter will buy it and charge you the moon to get it back.
Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.
Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL. 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.
