    My domain is through Go Daddy
    I think I may have done something wrong when I updated the DNS
    I put them as
    NS.wordpress.com
    NS.wordpress.com
    NS.wordpress.com
    Is that right?

    Your site is still running on wordpress.com. So it appears that you did not purchase a guided transfer to a self-hosted site but only the option to use a custom domain name. I’m sorry but as these forums are for self-hosted WordPress sites only, you will need to go back to http://en.forums.wordpress.com/

    No, I dont think so. Can you help me here. What would I have to do to transfer to a self hosted site? They had me buy a domain name from Go Daddy, then I had to buy a package from Vault Press. I needed to change the DNS settings, but I think I did that wrong and changed them back to wordpress.

    Did you also purchase hosting?

    Then you need to change DNS to point to your new GoDaddy site. Bear in mind that it can take up to 72 hours for these changes to propagate fully.

    OK I talked with GoDaddy and did that.
    But my site now has this message on the dashboard:

    Almost done. Before WordPress.com Connect can finish activating, you’ll need to register your website as an application on WordPress.com

    When I followed these directions earlier today, it directed me to change the DNS to NS1.wordpress.com I guess I shouldnt have done that!

    Should I just ignore the message to register the site as an application on WordPress.com?

    Do you intend to run your own self-installed WordPress site at GoDaddy?
