One more question. Every time I go to it on a Chrome I'm brought to a redirect loop page that says the site has "resulted in too many redirects." Clearing the cache clears the issue right up and i'm able to access it in Chrome. I'm just worried about other people visiting the site and running into the same message. Is there something on my end that I can do to "minimize the redirects" I guess?

Is there where the $13.00 mapping fee comes in? I want the url to say mrmikeswimming.com

WordPress.com does not provide a free domain mapping service. They offer a paid and annually renewable domain mapping upgrade. To map an existing domain (one you already own) to your WordPress.com blog, follow these instructions http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

It's still not coming up when i type in mrmikeswimming.com. But instead of going to a wordpress.com log in page, it goes to mrmikeswimming.wordpress.com.

Per the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ they need to be only:

NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

The domain is mrmikeswimming.com. I purchased an account with wordpress thinking it was seamlessly going to pull in the domain I already own. Now when I got to mrmikeswimming.com i'm taken to the wordpress log in page. But when i go to mrmikeswimming.wordpress.com it goes to the site i've set up on wordpress. should i purchase the mapping upgrade to solve this issue? I want mrmikeswimming.com to go to the wordpress site i've been working on.

Do you currently own the domain? If so, what is it? Did you buy it from WordPress.com? Have you also bought the domain MAPPING upgrade, which attaches your domain to your blog here?

I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.
