WordPress: Will you please help me get straightened out?

  • starstruckjewels · Member ·

    Hi WordPress,
    I have made a mess of my accounts with you. Here’s the story:

    1. Started out using WP.com
    2. Bought Plugins
    3. Realized I needed WP.org
    4. Went to Lauging Squid for hosting
    5. Registered my domain with WordPress (elegantmarketer.com)

    Here’s where the trouble starts:
    6. Couldn’t load WP.org
    7. Asked Laughing Squid to upload it for me
    !8. Went and registered the name again!!!!!!!
    9. Pointed new registration to Laughing squid (Name already reg. with WP)
    10. No one can find me at WP.org
    11. The WP.com comes up on search for ElegantMarketer.com instead of WP.org
    12. I cannot upload my WP Affiliate plug in. Seems to be missing a file, probably my fault.
    13. I am really struggling to get my site going, even using tips and tricks doesn’t help.
    14. I am about to jump out of a window (one story). When I go to affiliate, no one can find me so they won’t let me play.

    Hi there,

    Your domain, elegantmarketer.com, is pointing to your WordPress.com site. If you’d like to point it elsewhere, you’ll need to change your name servers:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers

    You can obtain the proper name server values from your new host.

    WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two distinct entities. You can learn more about the differences between hosting here at WordPress.com, and self-hosting your blog with the free WordPress software, here:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    We can only offer support for blogs hosted here at WordPress.com. If you need assistance with your self-hosted blog, check out the forums here:
