  I want to create an email for the domain through Google Apps, but your instructions aren’t working. I have a TXT entered into the DNS edit section, but Google Apps isn’t finding it.

  I’m thinking that there may be a problem due to the fact that I’ve already routed my domain to Squarespace.

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

  My thought is maybe my nameservers are throwing it off? In order to route the domain to squarespace I had to use NS01.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
  NS02.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

  I’ve gone step by step through this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/add-email-through-google-apps/

  All of the screens in the instructions look the same for mine and I’m still not getting domain verification through Google Apps.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Hi there!

  Since your domain is directed to Squarespace, you’ll need to edit these records through them. It looks like this might be a good place to start:

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!

  Hello!

  I see you weren’t happy with my response. I’m sorry if I was unclear. Since your name servers are pointed away from WordPress.com, we don’t manage your DNS Records. You’ll need to set up the Google verification records through Squarespace. The document I linked to above should help!
