why is dot com spelled out??
-
I bought cassiefindley.com from GoDaddy, and then bought WordPress Value Bundle so I could blog from WordPress. I did not put it in as Cassiefindleydotcom…so I am not sure why this has happened? I called GoDaddy and they said the transfer to WordPress was done correctly and now the website is under WordPress’ support. I e-mailed WordPress over 2 days ago and have not heard back. I am frustrated because it is not the correct web address. How can I fix this?
Thank you!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you entered it as cassiefindley.com in the sign up screen, the system here interpreted the .com literally and converted it to ‘dotcom’. I don’t know why, but it seems to happen.
Had you just entered ‘cassiefindley’, you would have been fine.
You should be able to change it here:

Thank you for the help. I am still so confused. Cassiefindley.com doesnt work….why doesnt it work? Has anyone experienced poor customer service with WordPress? I have sent them 2 emails and not received a response.

Email is absolutely the slowest way to get help at WordPress.com. Just follow the instructions in the link that notawoodpecker gave you and that should fix this problem.

So I have a question…did I do this right??
I am starting a blog. I bought Cassiefindley.com from GoDaddy, and then went to WordPress and bought the value bundle. I transferred Cassiefindley over to WordPress. However, now Cassiefindley.com won’t load…and I do not want the .wordpress part of the address. Did I do this right? I called GoDaddy and they said it looks like I had Cassiefindley.com linked up correctly to WordPress and it is WordPress’ problem that Cassiefindley.com isnt working. What can I do?

I guess it depends on what you want to accomplish. If you don’t care about the underlying sub-domain name, you can use Domain Mapping to point cassiefindley.com to cassiefindleydotcom.wordpress.com
If you want to change the underlying sub-domain from cassiefindleydotcom.wordpress.com. to cassiefindley.wordpress.com, use the link above. You can then use the Domain Mapping link to point cassiefindley.com to cassiefindley.wordpress.com
For Domain Mapping, see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Now, if you’ve already done the Domain Mapping here, it can take 2-3 days to fully take effect, so you’ll just have to wait.
