Did you follow these instructions?

http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

Also pay special attention to what is set for the Primary domain

Confirm Primary Blog Settings

You've set a different domain (KimballPeterson.com) as primary for kimballpeterson.wordpress.com. Although you can map more than one domain to your blog, only one can be primary.

Dear Kim,

Thank you for contacting Register.com.

All we can do as your domain Registrar is point your domain name which we have to the name servers below:

Name Server: NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
Name Server: NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
Name Server: NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

You will need to contact WordPress to find out as to why your site is not live, if you need to update the name servers please contact us as soon you know the new ones."

So I followed the WordPress instructions for redirect. The WordPress site my dashboard indicates that it is validated. But the kimballpeterson.com address doesn't work. Any ideas?

NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

The nameservers need to changed through your registrar, so you'll have to contact them for help.

In MX:
