  I was about to Tweet this WP support topic because it is so cool. How-ev, there’s some bad advice on your blog here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain

  “Before you proceed, please make sure that the domain is available for registration. You can enter the domain at a registrar website such as GoDaddy.com to see if any results are returned.”

  Please remove the published statement at link (above) and replace with something like:

  Before you proceed, please make sure that the domain is available for registration. You can enter type any address into the browser for a DNS result. Just be careful about entering the domain on GoDaddy.com.

  GoDaddy Steals Profitable Domains, We Search! They scan our searches, even remove purchase button on next screen if it might profit their VAST domain investment portfolio. They don’t hesitate to buy a hot result within a minute! http://tinyurl.com/NoDaddy
