Getting my domain to point to my new WordPress site (2 posts)

    I have a blog with Tumblr using my domain name (peculiarium.com). I have been working on an e-commerce site on WordPress, and now I want to point my domain to that new content. I see on my hosting account's DNS manager, (GoDaddy) it points to a tumblr ip address. Do I need to change that string in order for it to point to the right content? If so, what is the ip address for WordPress.org? I am able to see all my new pages through the previewdns.com extension, but I can't see the new home page, because it always takes me back to the Tumblr blog. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    you need to point the domain at the ip address your WordPress site will be served from - you can ask your hosting company for this address if you are not sure. You will also need to ensure your siteURL & blogurl are set correctly http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
