  Please could you check the domain mapping for pennysomerville.wordpress.com. It should be showing up on http://www.pennysomerville.co.uk. I set this up yesterday but I now seem to have a redirect loop going on. I have tried clearing cookies and cache. (I use OpenDNS as my provider in case that helps).

  thanks

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

  From, a different location today I can see that the site is working fine. So it must be deep cached in my home setup somewhere….

  OK to close.

  It is still a problem at home, but I’m within the 72 hour window, so I found (and blogged) a temp fix to this issue: http://michael.wilcox.net/2013/09/09/a-temp-fix-for-the-wordpress-com-dns-mapping-infinite-redirect-loop-problem/

  Hey Michael,

  Thanks for sharing that. Typically, clearing the cache or a force refresh in the browser would take care of it. OS X does have some internal caching ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5343 ) that could be storing it.

  In any event, you’re right on that it should clear by itself as the process finished. I did check OpenDNS’s cache, which is returning the right IP addresses.

  Please let me know if you have any other issues or need anything else. Cheers!
