  So I apparently mapped my blog whiteglovesports.wordpress.com to my website davidjonesauthor.com. This was wrong. I think I want to map to a subdomain like whiteglovesports.davidjonesauthor.com. Help!

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

  Hi there,

  I just fixed your domain mapping upgrade so it’s for the subdomain whiteglovesports.davidjonesauthor.com (instead of davidjonesauthor.com). You can set up that subdomain by asking your domain registrar (where the domain davidjonesauthor.com is registered) to add this CNAME record to your domain:

  whiteglovesports.davidjonesauthor.com. IN CNAME whiteglovesports.wordpress.com.

  We have more details about that in our guide to Map a Subdomain.

  If you decide you’d like to use a different subdomain (not whiteglovesports.davidjonesauthor.com) let me know and I can fix that for you.
