  I chose a domain and paid for it but when i am on my pages it shows http://box5292.temp.domains/ rather than my actual domain/whatever. Does that make any sense? Is this something that will automatically fix its self once it has been up for a bit?

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