Wordpress gave me some weird domain name, and i can't find my .me domain name

    Hi,

    I have the domain name adamfernandez.me purchased from godaddy. I then tried to host my blog on wordpress and i paid for the mapping and everything. I don't know what wordpress did, because it gave me this blog address instead which defeats the point of me having a .me domain. WordPress gave me http://www.adamfernandezdotme.wordpress.com, and then when i try and apply for the domain name adamfernandez.me it says it is already directed to a wordpress account. Please help me as this is quite frustrating. I needed this for an internship fair tomorrow. It should not be this difficult to direct m domain name to wordpress.

    Thanks,

    A Fernandez

    http://adamfernandez.me/ When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, you may also receive a warning message in your browser about "redirect errors". Unfortunately, we have no control over this as it all depends on how often your internet service provider updates their records. Please rest assured that everything is proceeding normally with your domain.

    You can continue to update your site while your custom domain propagates, by going directly to your Dashboard, here:
