Why am I seeing a domain mapping error when I try to view my blog?

  I used to have the premium service and my blog at kimhartlove.com. I don’t have the money right now to keep the upgrade so I let it expire. But when I try to reach my blog at kimhartlove.wordpress.com if I’m not logged in I see the following message:

  Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain.

  Shouldn’t it still show up there even though my other domain expired? Is that what everyone else sees when they go there?

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

  http://kimhartlove.wordpress.com/ – loads fine for me

  kimhartlove.com – gives me the mapping not found error that you get

  Try clearing your browser cache and forcing a page update

  With kimhartlove.com expired search engines will have trouble finding you for a while and maybe your friends also – send your friends an email with a note that your blog address has changed

  To help search engines re-index your site – make regular posts – that will help them update their records

  I will also flag this for the staff, they might be able to clear something at the registrar to help a bit
