  Hello, i recently bought the domain mapping so that my wordpress blog was accessed by typing the domain name i bought. I have managed to link the two together though i have two problems

  1. My email for my domain name doesnt seem to work anymore since linking the two togther and
  2. when redirected shows as http://maxjohnson.co/ rather than http://www.maxjohnson.co/

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks

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