  How do I configure the DNS for my website? It says it’s posted but none of my friends can log on and read the article without a password. When they click the link to my website, it comes up with a godaddy.com page. I’m not sure what the reason for this is. Any help is appreciated.

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

  Hi there,

  I don’t see any domains in your account. Only the free WordPress.com site, http://offsetlanguage.wordpress.com

  Is it that site you’re trying to show at a specific domain? At what domain do you want that site to appear?

  Yes, I’d like to show that site at offsetlanguage.wordpress.com. However, I’m not sure how to set the domain to that specific address.

  Are you able to help me do these things?

  Thank you for your time.

  To connect that site to a domain you already own you will first need to add a plan to your site at My Site ->Plans.

  After you’ve added a plan you can then connect your domain by going to My Site ->Domains ->Add and selecting the Map It option. You can find detailed instructions how to proceed from there here:
