  Friends @ WordPress,

  Today, I noticed that the email of “thestupidcommonman.com”
  is not working. I have already set up the MX record and pointed
  it to “bluehost”

  Is there any way you all can find out what went wrong? May be,
  it could well be that I missed inserting something important.

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

  We cannot help you with a Bluehost blog. That’s running WordPress.ORG software, not WP.COM software, so you need to be at their forums for help with that.

  Remember, I had so much trouble on getting the blog to get working.
  Thanks to all the help.

  When I purchased the domain upgrade, at the same time, I also
  changed the email records too.

  My blog is with WordPress.Com as you well know and not with the
  “BlueHost.” Now what do I have to do to get it working as I am not
  able to receive the emails owing to WordPress name servers is now inserted with “GoDaddy.”

  Ah, I see. Then I don’t know why you’re changing the nameservers.

  Here is the info for custom emails: http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/

  raincoaster,

  I was told to change the name servers as my blog had a trouble
  using the YouTube links.

  Once I changed the servers, I also went to WordPress email section
  and inserted the MX record with “bluehost”

  I do not know where to look so that I can see what I have done
  wrong. I clicked on the link you provided. I am confused now. May
  be you can direct me so that I can see what went wrong.

  Thanks.

  I told you before not to change the nameservers. What good is it to you to be able to put live links in a YouTube video if it screws up your email?

  I do not want to make this thread long. I do not recall your notice
  to change the server. It was TimeThief who informed me that in
  order to get YouTube link working smoothly, it will be better to
  change the name servers on “GoDaddy.” That is what I did. Now,
  the YouTube on my blog is working fine, and email is not. So I have
  to sacrifice the email, until we figure it out what is the best course.
  Again. let us not prolong this thread before everyone gets up in
  arms.

  Hello there!

  I took a look and can see that you’re using domain masking on your blog. This causes all sorts of problems, such as links not working properly. If you access your blog at its real address, you’ll notice the problem going away.

  To properly use your domain “thestupidcommonman.com” on your site, a domain mapping upgrade should do the trick:

  Let me know if you have any questions about this. Thanks!
