  I changed my blog to a http://www.coolnut.co thru domain mapping.
  However, it only shows up at coolnut.co and the first and only page does not show properly. Is there a way to change the domain to http://www.coolnut.co with the www.

  We actually strip out the www. for your convenience and http://www.coolnut.co/ will always redirect to http://coolnut.co/

  www is an old protocol from back when everything was under separate server hardware. www (www.example.com) was the web server, mail (mail.example.com) was the mail server, ftp (ftp.example.com) was the FTP server, print (print.example.com) was the print server, etc.

  These days, everything is run under the web server, making www. redundant and a waste of four characters.

  As for your front page, you haven’t published any posts yet. Once you do, they’ll appear in place of the error.
