  Hi,

  I own domain futebolingles.pt and would like to map the domain to my blog. The problem is wordpress only allows me to do this after I set the WordPress nameservers with my registrar, but my registrar says that the nameservers can only be changed after I’ve added the domain to my blog (apparently the Portuguese Foundation for Computing only allows DNS changes after they’ve confirmed the DNS exist in the server).

  Is there a way to add the domain to my blog first and then add the nameservers? Thanks.

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

  You need a zone record added for your domain name. I have flagged this for staff attention to add the zone record for you. The staff will reply in this thread when they have added your zone record.

  I have manually added a zone record for your domain.

  You should now be able to map it here following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
