I have lost everything tonight whilst doing some maintenance on the site.
I was using WP-DBManager and first of all the back-up facility wouldn't work, I wasn't to worried as I had backed up a few days ago with simple backup plugin. So I continued with DBManager to optimize the site, did that no problem and continued to empty/drop tables of deactivated plugins.
After selecting the tables I wanted to drop the page I was confronted with was the "Install wordpress" welcome screen.

And so I stand before you all, a broken man who doesn't know what to do.

This is my first time on wordpress and I'm already having a bit of a problem... I purchased the following domain "http://whitetshirt.me" via wordpress and when I visit my page, it re-directs me to "http://whitetshirtdotme.wordpress.com" which is obviously rubbish. How can I get it so that the address stays as whitetshirt.me?

thanks!

Did you want to map televisionproject.org to a different blog? If so, if you post the other WordPress.COM blog here and we can get the staff to transfer the domain mapping for you

Primary Blog is Set

televisionproject.org is set as the primary domain for televisionprojectdotorg.wordpress.com and will appear in the address bar when you visit the site.

Reciprocity is alive and well in the blogosphere. Social networking is strictly give to get. It takes months of posting frequently to attract viewers who will actually submit comments. The best way to get comments on your own posts is to leave meaningful comments on blogs with similar content to what's in your own blog. Set a goal of commenting on "X" number of blogs weekly and carry through.
