Sorry for the late reply. Anyway, I heard the guys at BlogWell has already helped you out? Yes, it takes a while for DNS servers to propagate their data to the rest of the electronic boxes that spun the Net!

Enjoy your new site!

If you'll try to access empressofdrac.wordpress.com you will be redirected to the domain name ONLY but not to my self hosted site. That is if you'll check empressofdrac.com you will be redirected to my old wordpress blog instead to my new self hosted blog.

Before I reset my Domain Name Severs to it's original settings I changed them to wordpress domain name servers(as what the redirection guide from blogwell said)(ns1.wordpress.com etc.). My site has been redirected well that time…

But it goes the other way when I reset my DNS setting. I just followed blog-well's instruction…I don't have any idea what to do now…

After making myself crazy for a few hours, I finally stepped away from the computer. I went back later, and lo and behold, everything was working perfectly. Absolutely perfectly.

I think it just took a few hours for the DNS servers to update. In the future I will remind myself that these things require some patience. :)

Thanks!

I think you missed one step! You should go back to WordPress.com wp-admin and under the Domains section of the dashboard, select “Put blog here” next to your new domain name. Please go back and review the document and make sure you perform all the steps.

Hope that helps.

But wait.

I can’t get to the wordpress.org login screen. It’s redirecting me to my wordpress.com login. I can’t even begin to figure out what went wrong, but if I can’t get to the right wp-admin login, suddenly moving to godaddy seems kind of pointless.

Since you are moving to a new domain, you will lose your old Google pagerank. However, you can quickly recover this as your subscribers are automatically redirected to your new site and new visitors come in. Old links will remain pointed to your old blog but anyone clicking on them will be redirected to your new one.
