  My blog doesn’t show when the address is entered, I’ve tried clearing the cache and cookies several times, I have no idea what is wrong?

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

  Hello there, Your WordPress.com site, lilliepod.wordpress.com/, is mapped to your domain, lilliepod.com.

  Unfortunately, the name servers at your registrar are not setup correctly to point to your WordPress.com site. If you’re not entirely certain about how to change your DNS settings on your own, contact your registrar and tell them:

  I would like to use my domain with a WordPress.com site. In order to do this, I need to point my domain’s name servers to the following:

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

  I do not want to transfer my domain, but want to leave it registered with you. WordPress.com does not permit mapping by setting an A record to point to an IP address. They require the name servers to be updated as described.

  If you have questions about your domain registrar, their contact info can be found here:
  http://who.is/whois/lilliepod.com

  In the meantime, I have made an adjustment to your settings on our servers so your site doesn’t appear “broken” when your visit: lilliepod.wordpress.com/.

  I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

  I can’t point to all three, “destination URL you entered is invalid.”

  I made the changes last night and added the NS1,2&3. Now when I write the address, I get a blank screen. I’m just not doing something right!

  Hello there, I want to confirm that you adjusted your name servers with your registrar, rather than trying to do that here at WordPress.com.

  When I look at your “who is” records, I still see the old domain settings:

  http://who.is/whois/lilliepod.com

  Take a look at that link. Notice that in the Registrar Info box, you see:

  Name Servers
  yns1.yahoo.com 67.195.1.92
  yns2.yahoo.com 98.139.247.192

  These should read
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  When you do make adjustments to these settings, it can take up to 72-hours for the changes to appear online. If you already did adjust those with your Registrar, it is possible that this is why you’re seeing a blank screen.

  So your site doesn’t appear ‘broken’ when viewed, I’ve made https://lilliepod.wordpress.com/ your primary domain. People can visit that address to read your blog. Once your custom domain settings are working properly, we can make lilliepod.com your primary again.

  Please let me know when your Domain Registrar is able to assist you in changing your name servers. I can help further after that. Thanks!
