  I know WordPress FAQ says to change the Nameservers in order to map a domain I own onto my blog. I know it says that I will not be able to use the email or other features from my domain unless I point a subdomain to my blog instead. BUT….

  Network Solutions’ DNS Manager Advanced Tools seems to allow me to split the www and email mapping without using supdomains. I tried using the IP of one of WordPress’ Nameservers but this didn’t work because I couldn’t get past the “Add a Domain” page since it said the Nameserver’s weren’t changed.

  Is anyone familiar with this problem, or know for sure that this method will not allow me to use http://www.mydomain.com -> myblog AND (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  Thanks.

  Won’t work. You would have to get wordpress.com’s nameservers to assign the MX and staff won’t allow that. It would be too easy to abuse.
