  I am adding a domain at Stores>Domains. When I add my own domain name and click to add it, the “start mapping my domain” button sits over the menu at the page footer, and will not work.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Do you have your own domain name that you want to map or are you buying a domain name that you want to map?

  I have also flagged this for staff attention

  I have been working with Opera browser.
  The page appears to work OK when I try it in MS Internet Explorer.

  I’m not clear what relevance that has. I am clear on the fact that WordPress.com supports the browser versions here http://browsehappy.com If you are not running one of those browser versions I strongly suggest that you upgrade.

  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
