  I’ve forwarded my domain (which should be http://www.mkcrafts.com) to my wordpress blog, however it only shows up if i type in the address without the www. Is there any way to change this so that both http://www.mkcrafts.com and http://mkcrafts.com go to the same blog?

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

  The www. worked for me.

  Try clearing your browser cache.

  Hmm,

  Try clearing your DNS cache.

  Start –> Run.

  type cmd, press enter

  type ipconfig /flushdns

  Note: Vista needs to have the command line having admin privileges.

  Give it a day your ISP’s dns servers are still catching up it seems.

  I use OpenDNS http://opendns.com to avoid the issue.

  Please take note that wordpress.com deliberately chose not to have the antiquated and unnecessary “www” in the urls. Therefore no wordpress.com blog has “www” in the url, but if you plug it in there and click you will be redirected to the url without the “www”.
