Good luck

I currently have my proto-blog hosted on the WordPress.com servers. I want to move it to my externally hosted domain (Hostpapa) and have been following the excellent walk-through guide here: http://onlinemarketerblog.com/2009/03/how-to-integrate-a-wordpress-blog-with-hostpapa-hosting/

I want to move this onto externally hosted servers and have bought a domain name (wherenextphotography.com) and paid for hosting through Hostpapa.

I'm stuck at the final stage whereby I essentially notify wordpress that my blog is now hosted externally and therefore has different DNS settings. The only help I can find in the support pages tells me how to change my registrar's DNS settings to point to the WordPress servers, not the other way round. I have seen some posts indicating that this should be available in "Domain Management" but I think this option might only be available if you register the domain through WordPress and I've already registered mine!!

Any help would be masively appreciated!
