  Hello,

  I’m currently running a WP blog under mydomain.com. The domain name is configured with WP:s nameservers.

  Is there a way I can add a subdomain (test.mydomain.com) and have it redirect to an external website using a “cloaked url”? So that test.mydomain.com remains in the browser window…

  Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

  Thanks for your response. The blog is a WP.com blog at http://jonlord.org (hosted on WP:s nameservers).

  Would it be possible to add a subdomain or cname (test.jonlord.org) that redirects you to another website, while retaining “test.jonlord.org” in the address field of the browser?

  Thanks in advance.
