You may also consider that we Volunteers aren't paid to take any verbal abuse from anyone posting here at all. If you do want to get the domain your allowed to expire domain out of redemption than I suggest you become polite very quickly.

Before it expired, we sent email warnings and displayed notifications on your dashboard.

Domain expiration is a lengthy and complicated process that takes about 80 days. During this time, your domain may be put up for auction or sold on back-order. You can learn more about expired domains here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

The good news is that we may still be able to recover your domain if it has not yet been deleted or purchased by someone else. A late renewal fee of $80 will be added to the regular price of renewal. This fee is charged by the domain registry and is not one which we can waive.

I'll send further details to the email address on your account.

"DNS Needs to be updated" in red. I click on it and get:

"Your nameservers need to be set to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM and NS2.WORDPRESS.COM for these DNS records to work. If you have already updated the nameservers you can ignore this message; it will stop appearing soon."

I am trying to get to the domain administration page to fix the name servers but I can't find it. I click on domains under store and then i'm stuck on adding a domain or updating.

When i first purchased the redirect everything was working great for about a month. It's only recently that I noticed that it's not working.

The guide also lists ns3.wordpress.com. Is that required for the Domain addon to recognize that the domain is pointed to wordpress.com?

Although melaniecolosimo.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up. If you wish to host your site at WordPress.com, you will need to update your nameservers as outlined here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain

After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the set up it can take between 24 - 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What's important during that stage is to be patient.

when I go to Store and Domains there is no option for Domain Administration. How is that correct?

You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered any blog who is the Admin of the blog and who purchased the upgrade to access it.

Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers.
