I'll have to try and get that part done again. Perhaps it wasn't done correctly.

Thank you.

I get this message when I try

"Someone (maybe you?) already registered firefliesofedmonton.com, but the domain is not pointing to WordPress.com."

You attach it to whatever account/blog you want when you go through the domain mapping process. Up until then, it is just pointing at wordpress.com in general.

So it looks like the person that changed the domain may have did it wrong, it was suppose to be just via wordpress and not hosted seperatly.

Just to clairify if that IF the nameserver WAS done correctly, it should have been linked to our correct account?

Are you sure you have the spelling correct somewhere??

The person that bought the domain has gone in an changed the nameservers to what was provided by WordPress, but I can't map it to our account. It says the domain is not pointing to WordPress, but if you actually type in the web address it actually takes it to a WordPress page, it's just not ours, and we have no idea who's it is.

It currently says that this is the nameserver;
66.33.206.206
208.96.10.221
66.33.216.216

We did make the change to:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

How can I go about getting our domain linked to the correct account?
