  Hi, earlier today I got the $99 package. I went to start building a website but first registering my domain name colourmefitness.com.au through WordPress. I thought great, it’s working, then I discovered that I cannot complete the third step as the DNS is required for my choice of primary web address. I do not have a domain administration tab available and the DNS examples are invalid. Please help me as I would like to start building my website as soon as possible. Thanks.

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

  You can start building your web site now

  However colourmefitness.com.au can’t be registered with WordPress.COM – you will need to register the domain name with another registrar then map it to your blog here

  I added a zone record for colourmefitness.com.au so once you register the domain name you can map it using the instructions below

  Hi, thanks for your email. I’m very new to this. So I need to register my domain first? Do you know where I register my domain colourmefitness.com.au – I thought that was all part of the package that got through wordpress.

  Registration is included in some packages – but WordPress.COM can’t register.com.au domains

  some friends use Name cheap – don’t know if they do .com.au –
