  Hello,

  I recently purchased a godaddy domain and need to connect my wordpress blog. How do I go about doing this? They recommend getting an A record IP address. Can you please advise.

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

  Hi there. The best way to connect your domain to your WordPress.com blog is to buy the domain mapping upgrade from the Store in your dashboard. Full instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  would there be a reason why no one can seem to find wordpress’
  ip address so they can attach their wordpress blog to their godaddy domain? what’s the big deal. Why do I have to search the entire
  wordpress support directory and still no answers?

  it is mapping the ip address of the wordpress blog to godaddy, not the other way around

  Click this link please in the sidebar tags IP address

  There is no permanent static IP address for any WordPress.com blog. All IPs are dynamic ie. ever changing. Therefore WordPress.com does not purport to provide static IP addresses. Note what Staff (jeremeylduvall) provides in this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/looking-for-name-serverip-address?replies=8#post-2091660

  To map to an existing domain see http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
