  I would like my blog to post directly to my website. Is this possible. my website http://gypsysgewells.com is hosted with dreamhost. But when I add content on this site (such as polyvore post) it does not show up on my website. What do I need to do to get these to work together? Thanks

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

  You have set up domain mapping for gypsysgewells.com here on WordPress.com. This means you are looking to have people who enter gypsysgewells.com in their web browser be sent to your WordPress.com site rather than your Dreamhost one. Is that what you were intending to do?

  If so, it isn’t working yet because the nameservers for gypsysgewells.com are still pointing dreamhost and not to WordPress.com.

  If that isn’t what you were trying to do, let me know and I will try and help you get things set up the way you were hoping.

  Good Morning. What I was really attempting to do was one site, but I also need it to provide email. I tried to do this with just the wordpress site and could not do it. I also want the gypsysgewells.com to be a blog/website. I don’t want to keep both unless I have to in order to make this work. Please let me know the best solution.

  So here are our two email solutions.

  You can either enter some custom DNS records as described here:

  Or you can set up email forwarding as described here:

  Take a look through those pages and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help. If neither look like they will work for you, that may make up your mind about if you want to have everything here or everything there.
