Linking our website from go daddy to wordpress

[Danielle Gruen | Living Careers]

Hi Doug.
So, Tracy & I linked our go daddy domain to our wordpress blog, and it has linked. However, it still notes .wordpress.com in the domain name itself now. We want to remove the .wordpress.com, and wordpress does have features to do this, as you know. Wordpress linkage attempt failed, and reads:
"We were unable to verify that newmediateatime.com is pointing to WordPress.com. If you own this domain, follow the directions below to get it ready for your blog. If you don’t own it, try a different name to see if something else is available. If the domain is available, you may be able to register it with another registrar and then map it to your blog.

How to fix it
Using the DNS tools provided by your domain registrar, remove any existing nameservers and add the following:

NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
Then come back here and try again."
Thanks!

You could also use the "Masking" feature (there is a checkbox seen in the video to accomplish much the same thing). The Wordpress instructions are probably better, but also more complex. I can step you through that process, if you wish.

A step by step through the process would be great.
I trouble shooted myself through the linkage of my last blog & domain site on my own and all worked fine, but this one is different as the site was purchased first through go daddy.

Thanks.

Thanks for the Masking help! Looks like it will roll over.

You rock as always.
