Please feel free to try again by adding the domain via Store -> Domains in your blog's Dashboard.

I hope they see this and help me pretty quick. I've got business cards, etc. coming with the domain on it so I need it to work soon!

Maybe it's just taking awhile to catch up since it was the holiday weekend? I sent WP support a note Saturday as well when it wasn't working so maybe I'll hear something back.

Registration $ 5--
Mapping $ 13
Privacy $ 8
Total $ 26

A whois shows the domain registration is not active. I was not able to find the documents to check and see if a "dash" is permitted here (you could register elsewhere and map the name if the "dash" will not register here)

The staff can sort things our for you - but they are coming off a three day U.S. holiday so they might be a bit backed up - they do have a good record for sorting these things out

As far as I know, I purchased the domain name for $18/yr. and also purchased the $8 privacy upgrade. I entered all of my credit card info, etc. so it should be good?

A couple of days ago I purchased the domain name brian-arnold.org through wordpress for my blog brianarnold.wordpress.com. I went through all of the steps but when I go to that address, Google can't find it. When I click on the domain management button it says the status is active but that the DNS settings need to be updated. Since I purchased the domain name from WP and not another host, I'm really confused on how or why I would need to change those settings. Am I missing something obvious here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
