  I am not technically literate. For the life of me I cannot find DOMAINS to try to set up email forwarding. I go to MY SITE at top left of page then MANAGE but there is no DOMAINS. How do I start and proceed to do the (seemingly) simple task of properly setting up email forwarding from my domain to my GMail account? Do I need a plug-in or something? I have ZERO clue :(

  Hi there!

  Are you referring to himmeracingministry.com? Your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with Bluehost. It is only connected to your WordPress.com account via Jetpack, so the instructions that refer to sites hosted with us, will not apply to you.

  Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites hosted elsewhere; we can only assist with sites hosted on our servers. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/.

  You can look for help at the community forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

  http://wordpress.org/support/ is also a great resource for sites using the open-source WordPress.org software.
