  DNS needs to be updated – I wanted to map my existing (untouched) domain yourockmylife.com to wordpress from checkdomain.de. Everything worked fine until the red bar turned up and showed “DNS needs to be updated”.

  Then I wanted to “edit” my domain to change the DNS but the button didn’t allow me to. Neither on safari or Firefox?! Whats the problem?

  Please help…Nina

  It looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=yourockmylife.com

  Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

  If you are still having a problem, let me know, and we can take the next troubleshooting step, once I get more feedback.
