  Hi guys,
  I’m trying to create a CNAME Record for my pixieset account so I can make a custom domain name to redirect clients to where they can order pictures online. I’m having trouble understanding where to put what though in my Domains.
  Pixieset advises to have my CNAME point to DOMAIN.PIXIESET.COM, but when I test the domain on Pixieset, it says my subdomain (which I want to be galleries.laurakathrynphotography.com) isn’t pointing to Pixieset.
  Can someone check to see if I added the CNAME record correctly?
  thanks.

  Your WordPress.com DNS records are correctly set up.

  Now, you just need to configure your custom domain at Pixieset:

  Log into the Pixieset Dashboard, then go to the Options tab. Enter your custom domain name (e.g. subdomain.yourdomain.com without http://) in the Custom Domain field and hit Save Changes. That’s it! Now wait for your DNS propagation and your custom domain mapping is ready.

  Correct Example: client.joephotostudio.com
  Incorrect Example: http://client.joephotostudio.com
