  I already have my own domain and I would like to make access to my blog available via http://blog.mydomain.co.uk/
  I am fine with managing my domain, but where do I tell WordPress the address I wish to use?
  What is the IP address I should use for my DNS entry?

  Thanks.

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

  If you would like to use your domain you will first need to purchase a domain mapping upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/ set up domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
