  I’m not sure how to search the forums. I searched my topic (”custom domain”), and I got a bunch of recently posted irrelevant stuff. So I thought it would be faster just to ask.

  I’ve moved my blog from Blogger to WordPress, but still have a custom domain (theFITmedia.com) pointed at my Blogger site. What I found through a Google search focused mostly on the Blogger end, but merely said to ”ask WordPress” for the rest of the details. The domain was purchased from eNom by way of Google. I believe I know how to point the domain at WordPress, but I need the address to point the DNS servers toward. I’m not sure if I’m using the correct terminology.

  I want to preserve my Gmail address (@theFITmedia.com) and other Google apps, I simply want to point my custom domain address to my blog the same as it is with Blogger now.

  Thanks,
  Jamie

  You can map your existing domain here following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  Once you have that done, follow the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/google-apps-email/ starting around step 7 to re-verify your domain with Google.
