  I’ve recently purchased WordPress.com premium and switched my domain maryloosoriginals.com from Register.com to WordPress. I created a static webpage with WordPress. My old site appears when I type in http://www.maryloosoriginals.com (Register.com) instead of my new one at WordPress. I can see my new WordPress site from a link on the old site (click here to see what’s new) but I purchased the premium package to avoid having to do that step and to have maryloosoriginals.com a great looking WordPress hosted site. Please help.

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

  Hi there,

  Thanks for getting in touch! It looks like your domain, maryloosoriginals.com, is still pointed towards the original Register.com nameservers. You’ll just need to log in to your Register.com account and update your nameservers to point towards ours. The namerservers you’ll want to use are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Once you do that, give your domain a few hours for propagation to occur and your site should come up just fine! Let me know if you run in to any issues.
