  Hi, I bought http://www.shenanniegans.com at GoDaddy. I have set GoDaddy to forward and mask my blog URL, which is http://sheilbrunn.wordpress.com, so that when people type http://www.shenanniegans.com they are directed to my blog and shenanniegans is what is shown in the URL.

  I keep getting a blank page when I go to http://www.shenanniegans.com, and the support people at GoDaddy said:

  “It appears that your wordpress site (sheilbrunn.wordpress.com) is forwarding to shenanniegans.com. Therefore, the forwarding is looping back on itself, which results in a blank screen. You will need to manage your wordpress account to stop it from forwarding.”

  How do I fix it? Do I need to delete the domain mapping at WordPress? THANK YOU!
  Blog url: http://sheilbrunn.wordpress.com/

  Hi there,

  Forwarding is different from mapping a domain. Mapping generally provides a much better experience for both users and blog owners.

  Please disable forwarding and masking at GoDaddy’s website.

  You’ll then need to change your name servers at GoDaddy to:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  Full instructions on mapping your domain are available here:

  Please keep in mind that it may take a few hours for domain changes to take full effect.

  Ok, thanks so much. So then will http://www.shenanniegans.com still show in the URL after I do that?
