  I am trying to set up my gmail @healthyharvesters.com and I am totally stuck where I’m supposed to find/update my dns records within the site. This stuff might as well be in german.

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

  Hi there!

  There are two main options for adding a custom email address for your domain:

  1. You can setup email forwarding following the instructions here:

     http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/

     In this scenario, email to your custom address ((email visible only to moderators and staff) for example) would be forwarded to an address you already own (like a Gmail address for instance).

  2. You can add a custom email address through a third-party as explained here:

     http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

     In this scenario, you would be setting up a separate address with a separate inbox

  It looks like you’ve already gotten started with the second option with a Google email address. Are you currently following the steps here?
