  I don’t know what to put in ‘handled by’ to complete the add DNS email page?
  I have MX and Athena.hosts.co.uk but unsure for next box ‘handled by’ priority is 30.
  please see below:
  The email I received from names.co.uk states…. the services for adecorativeaffair.com are managed by WordPress. However if you wish to use the email with us you would need to contact them and ask them to update the DNS record to use the following :-

  MX 30 athena.hosts.co.uk.
  MX 30 hermes.hosts.co.uk.

  Once updated and live you are then ready to setup the email on your device(s).

  WHAT DO I DO? sorry to complete process. they can’t tell me, I have rung them.

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

  Hello there!

  I did add those records to your domain settings.

  Keep in mind that it can take up to 72 hours for the DNS records to fully propagate and your email to begin working. If it has been over 72 hours and your email is still not working please contact me again.

  You can visit your settings here:
  https://adecorativeaffair.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Click Edit Domain → Edit DNS, and you’ll see your MX records.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
