Hello.. New here and a bit embarrassed for not knowing what the heck I am doing....

Recently started blog called healthfoodgeeks dot com slash blogspot. We then purchased domain name through go daddy called healthfoodgeeks dot com. We xfered over the info to word press and I am totally confused now. Our home computer shows our site looking as it should when we type: healthfoodgeeks dot com or healthfoodgeeks.wordpress.

When I have other review the website in IE and Firefox they are seeing different things such as a picture of food taking up the whole page as "tiles"

Doing past searches in Google and clicking on the link is showing the "garbled" website.. Do I now have duplicate content on the internet now??

What is the correct way to pull up word press site? With the www, or just as healthfoodgeeks dot com

We never had this trouble until going to word press and having to use go daddy to make all the changes. Any help would be appreciated. Can you tell me what you see when you search for healthfoodgeeks in Google?? I don't know what else to do.

Thanks in advance

    What you need to do is to hire someone who can sort out what you've done, because it appears you have a mess. For instance, on your main domain name, I see a wordpress.com domain mapping error message. Blogger says all of the content is gone.

    The reason why your Background image is tiling is because you have the css property: Background-repeat: set to "repeat".. You will need to change this to "no-repeat" so that it will not tile.

    Here is how you can fix this. Find the theme directory in your word press, you will need to locate header.php. Locate the following code:

    Code:
    	<style type="text/css"> body { background-image: url('http://healthfoodgeeks.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/grilled20salmon.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat; background-position: top left; background-attachment: scroll; } </style>
    Now change background-repeat: repeat; to background-repeat: no-repeat;

    As far as your domain issues, it looks like you have yet to finish setting up your domain services via the wordpress.com interface.

    You may want to contact wordpress support for help with this issue.

    Yeah, it does look like you have quite a mess on your hands. I would first start off by checking your DNS Zones. However, if you don't know what you are doing you can really mess this up. SO be extra cautious.

    If you want to go at this yourself I would verify all DNS settings. Then, ensure your WP setup is correct (check DB, DB user, DB user permissions, etc). If your GoDaddy Hosting includes phone support they may be able to help you out over the phone.

    We handle WordPress setups for our clients all the time and have dealt with lots of WP issues. If you would just like to hire someone to take care of this for you just let us know.
