  Hi there!

  You have a domain mapping on your WordPress.com blog ashburnd.wordpress.com that directs all traffic to ashburn.com.

  Can you let me know what you’d like to see and I can help you make this work correctly!

  I would like people to see my blog posts.
  Now if you search ashburnd wordpress and click the link you are directed to my domain ashburn.com which is pointed to my work web site.

  In other words i think the solution is to NOT map to my domain ashburn.com

  That’s correct. Domain mapping is not what you want.

  If you’d like, you could map a subdomain like blog.ashburn.com. If that’s something you’re interested, in you’ll need to create the CNAME through your DNS settings at your registrar. Here are some directions for what it should look like and how to then map that subdomain to your WordPress.com blog:

  If you go this route, let me know and I can update your Domain Mapping upgrade for the new URL.

  Let me know if I can help you set any of that up!

  I just want to remove the redirecting of any viewing of my blogs to my domain ashburn.com. I dont know why its happening but it makes the wordpress account useless. No one can view my blogs. I cannot even view them if i post new ones. Can i just get this feature removed? Otherwise i have to shut down the account and post my blogs elsewhere.

  I figured it out using your last post. I had to go in to the store and make wordpress my primary site.
  I did not mean to redirect the post to my domain, that was an accident
  I was charged 13.00 for that. If it could be reversed i would appreciate it .

  Hi there!

  I’ve refunded your $13 Domain Mapping upgrade. Please note, it normally takes around a week for a refund to appear on your bank statement.

  Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with!

  Hi there!

  I just wanted to check in with you. Your blog is now available at ashburnd.wordpress.com and will not redirect to your website ashburn.com.

  Was there anything I can do to make your blog function the way you want?
