  The way WP.com does DNS is a nightmare. I am moving from Tumblr and that was really easy — just point your domain to their server ip address and it works.

  I’ve switched my DNS servers to be ns1.wordpress.com/ns2.wordpress.com. It keeps resolving to the old tumblr address.

  Intodns.com gives me this explanation:

  http://www.intodns.com/girdley.com

  Any thoughts?

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

  Did you follow these instructions?

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Once changes are made it can take 24 to 72 hours for changes to reach the far corners of the internet

  What is the domain name you want to map to your blog?
