  Hey y’all!

  So here’s the story. My blog is mapped to http://alittlesparkofmadness.net, but when I try to go to it, the DNS lookup fails.

  I checked my settings and everything looks correct.

  Domain is registered, and renews in July.

  I used the domain validator tool to see what might be going wrong, and I got this:

  Here, it’s telling me the domain is not registered. But it clearly is.

  So what the heck is going on? I feel like this is something support is going to need to deal with because I’m not sure how anybody’s going to be able to see what’s going on without looking at account information, but I don’t have an upgraded account so that’s not an option for me. Does anybody have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance for the help!

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