direct a wordpress url to a tumblr?
-
hi there-
I bought a domain from wordpress, and I’d like to direct it to my tumblr, is that possible to do?
That is to say, when someone goes to http://www.charlottelydia.com, what they’ll see is charlottelydia.tumblr.com. Is that possible?
I’ve read a bunch of the documentation but feel a bit out of my depth here.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It is possible.
However, the link that Timethief points you to (quoted below) is correct. It is not an optimal way of doing things.
Tumblr requires that you use an A record to map a domain to them, which isn’t an optimal way to do things through our system. We recommend that you first transfer your domain out to a full-service registrar, such as GoDaddy. You’ll more easily be able to manage your domain with your Tumblr site from there.
You can transfer your domain by following these instructions: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/#set-the-domain-manager-password
If you have any trouble, please let me know which step you’re getting stuck at, and what happens when you try to follow it. I’ll be happy to help you out!

Hi rootjosh, I’m confused, you appear to have essentially linked me to the same thing. Isn’t it possible just to redirect easily to a tumblr, as I have my email etc. all set up and working with wordpress?

It is possible. But it is not the most optimal way of doing things. If you feel that you will be using Tumblr permanently for that domain, you would be better off transferring to a different registrar and setting things up through them.
