I directed my domain name servers to here (WordPress.com). How do I point it back to GoDaddy from here?

I do not have a wordpress.com blog set up yet, only an account. Do I need to set up a blog first?

and yes, I have followed the instructions changing the namesavers to:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

After I submitted that, it said that it may take up to 48 hours.

I have also just purchased hosting through godaddy as well, in hopes that it would make life simpler.

Sorry if this had made you helping me more difficult.

We also need the domain name you are trying to map as well as the base WordPress.COM blog to give you accurate help
