  So, I just bought credits and did mapping for the domain. Thing is that when I type in my site addy to my regular site, it forwards to wordpress. Do I need to go back to my registrar and change the name servers again?? Thanks

  domaineilan, since you’re using a subdomain with external nameservers, you’ll need to add a CNAME record to your DNS servers, pointing your blog domain (blog.domain-ilan.com) to wordpress.com.

  CNAME blog.domain-ilan.com wordpress.com.

  Once you’ve done that it should work fine. Please contact support if you need more help.

  Having some difficulty I think, what should the Host and Points To be?

  I have host – http://www.wordpress.com
  and
  Points To – blog.domaine-ilan.com

  That seems backwards….
