  Hi all,

  I have done the following in order:

  – purchasing a domain from network solutions, then
  – opening a google apps account and use the above domain with it.
  – creating a wordpress.com blog

  Now I want to map my blcea.wordpress.com blog to my domain http://www.blcea.org and it seems that if I purchase the domain upgrade, I will not be able to use google apps with domain.

  Can you please explain?

  Thanks

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

  You can, you just need to enable the MX records:

  I had it when my domain was still on wordpress.com and it worked flawlessly.

  Note that if you do map the domain to your WordPress.com blog, you will only be able to use e-mail (not other Google Apps features), as noted in the support article linked above by husdal.
