  Hi there,

  WordPress.com hosting is free for anyone who wants to create a site here. Your WordPress.com Premium plan gives you additional features on top of the free hosting.

  I see that you linked your domain name annettewalby.com to your WordPress.com site, but the domain isn’t actually pointed at WordPress.com yet. (Once the domain is pointed at WordPress.com you’ll see your WordPress.com site when you visit the domain.)

  To finish pointing your domain at WordPress.com, you’ll need to change the domain’s name servers to these:

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

  You’ll need to make that change through GoDaddy. GoDaddy has a support page for changing your domain’s name servers, or you can contact GoDaddy support for more help with that step. We also have more details about that in our Domain Mapping guide.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
