Your old URL should still work fine, but it will take around 24 for the custom domain show up and be stable.

Start both with http:// so that it is clickable.

I was working on it fine setting it up and wanted to aim my domain name I already had. I did the research and changed the DNS setting to WordPress settings and that was fine. Then I went into the dashboard and went to settings, general and saw there where there was the current URL that my company set me up with. So, I changed it to my domain name on both spots and, the whole site disappeared, and I cant get back on to change anything. After all that, I just found out I can't do the domain name and have to pay $12. but I can't get on the site to do it, yikes!

I also have other things I couldn't do, like how do you connect your pictures you uploaded to the page. It ask for a URL. Well I would appreciate any help.
Thank you
