  Excuse me,

  I want to use my WIX accounts domain name to direct folks to my wordpress blog. Can you please give me step-by-step directions on how to do so or show me the forum which instructs me how to do so.

  Thank you for reading my message and your help.

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

  Hi there,

  Wix does not allow their customers to point their domains using nameservers, which is a requirement for a domain which is hosted here with us. Per the instructions on Wix’s help center, if you need to point your domain via nameservers, they recommend that you transfer your domain to a different host:

  http://www.wix.com/support/html5/domains/managing-your-domain-records/faq/how-to-add-dns-records-1

  We do not accept incoming domain transfers here at WordPress.com, but there are tons of domain registrars who do. There is a fantastic Lifehacker article which breaks down the 5 best domain registrars, and any of these would serve you great: http://lifehacker.com/5943452/five-best-domain-name-registrars

  Once you transfer your domain, it is very easy to point it towards us, but until you do I’m afraid you won’t be able to. I apologize for that inconvenience.
