  I have managed to get http://www.thecountessofhuntingdons.org.uk to direct to thecountessofhuntingdons.wordpress.com.
  It still shows this hecountessofhuntingdons.wordpress.com url though. Is there not a way of having it display my chosen domain?

  Thanks

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

  I’ve also added the custom DNS records from Gandi.net

  MX 10 spool.mail.gandi.net.
  MX 50 fb.mail.gandi.net
  CNAME imap access.mail.gandi.net.
  CNAME smtp relay.mail.gandi.net.
  CNAME webmail agent.mail.gandi.net.
  CNAME pop access.mail.gandi.net.

  Is this ok and will it enable my gandi email address to work?

  Did you have a zone record added for your Domain name?

  Did you follow these instructions?

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  Including setting thecountessofhuntingdons.org.uk as the primary domain?

  Remember it can take 24 to 72 hours for the changes to migrate across the internet.

  Ah. Thanks. I had forgotten to update the primary domain.
  I need to just get the email to work again now.
  Do you know if I did this ok and if wordpress need to do anything?
