    Ever since I mapped from sartra.wordpress.com i am having troulble linking to pages that were working fine before i mapped the domain to strenshaw.net.
    can you please look at my site strenshaw.net and go to art > adam &eve > then try to click on link to video. it was at strenshaw.net/eden.mov before when it worked. now i get error 404
    when i look at the permalink it says strenshaw.net/images/20-2 and i dont know where that came from?! please help with this – it is a major problem and if i cant get these links to work (there are many i need to link to) then i will need a refund because wordpress will not work for my site if i cannot get to these files that are in fat cow and work on their server fine. i called and they said the error must be with wordpress and how things are set up – but i havent changed anything other than mapping the domain so i cannot understand why the links no longer work.

    PROBLEM 2: i emailed about this when i first mapped it to wordpress and still havent heard back – i am not getting my email from fatcow anymore. please help me with this as i really need that email to work too : (email visible only to moderators and staff)
    i tried to follow your instructions about mx codes or something but do most ppl really know how to this?! i have no idea what you are asking for or where to get it or what to do with it
    PLEASE HELP ASAP – I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A RESPONSE TO THIS OVER A WEEK

    Your site (strenshaw.net) is a self-hosted installation of WordPress, available at WordPress.org. If you’re having problems with a site not hosted with WordPress.com, we may not be able to help. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

    I do see that you want to map that domain to your WordPress.com blog. Looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:
    http://whois.domaintools.com/strenshaw.net

    Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

    Let us know once that’s done, and I will set the MX records for you.
