  I’ve followed all the instructions (changing CNAME etc) to map my wordpress blog to a subdomain, blog.mysite.com, but it is now forwarding the url instead of mapping it. Any help? What am I doing wrong?

  thanks,
  Ryan

  What are the URL’s so we can see what exactly you are trying to do?

  Or, I should say wordpress.justinchon.com is suppose to mapping to blog.justinchon.com but instead is forwarding the url.

  Did you add the subdomain you want in your “domain” portion of your admin? If so, then click the “put blog here” beside the blog.justinchon.com instead of http://justinchon.wordpress.com/

  That should fix it since right now it is reversed!

  Yeah, I had try to do that before… I don’t know why is wasn’t working but it is working now! Thanks. The only other strange thing is the wordpress.justinchon.com is now showing the default server screen for my webhost but that doesn’t matter to me too much.
