You may just need to clear your cache to see the updated site. (Here is some help with browser issues like clearing your cache, in case you'd like more instructions.)

At this point, you'll want to head over to the WordPress.org forums for additional support. Good luck!

Contacted Godaddy, they said to take the domain mapping on WordPress off because I've installed the wordpress application directly from Godaddy. I reinstalled the application on GoDaddy after removing domain mapping on wordpress and even deleted the blog to ensure I wouldn't get any overlap.

What WAS happening was that when I would go to the admin for my blog it was kicking me to theknightcrewshow.wordpress.com/wp-admin when I should have been going to theknightcrewshow.com and simply logging in from there.

NOW I am see an error form when trying to go to theknightcrewshow.com. It states that it needs mapping but GoDaddy insists it doesn't and my co-workers have shown me theirs and they don't have mapping and they are hosting on Godaddy just like myself. My question is, is this just because the DNS error in my location hasn't updated? The godaddy tech support said they could see my blog at my URL, but I can't where I am at.

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.

That means, no third party themes.

Are you asking about a different site?

They say to upload the theme to the wp-content/theme section of the directory then go to WordPress to activate it. However, it's not activating or even available to activate.

You just can't upload a third party theme to use on WordPress.com.

How can I use the 3rd part theme that I just purchases? Can you please provide me with the steps.
