  Hi,

  I’m wondering whether it is possible to use the subdomains of a domain registered via the premium bundle? Say, I want vordichtung.com to refer to one wordpress.com blog, xyz.vordichtung.com to refer to another wordpress.com blog and zyx.vordichtung.com to a website hosted on a different server. Is this possible at all, or would I have to do that via an external registrar?

  Cheers!

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

  It looks like that’s all possible. I think this is, more or less, what you’re looking for:

  thank you txpost! I’ve managed to link to outside websites but somehow I seem to be unable to link to my private wordpress.com blog.

  I’ve added the CNAME record

  CNAME non notesofnona.wordpress.com.

  but everytime I go to non.phoxography.net I get redirected to phoxography.net instead of notesofnona.wordpress.com. I really don’t need to map the subdomain, just forward. any idea what I’m doing wrong?

  cheers! :D
