  Hi,
  I just bought my domain name and I see that it says I need to edit the DNS section. I read the support page about the DNS, but I don’t understand how I am supposed to know or where to find the information for my specific DNS section?

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

  http://jacquilyninthekitchen.com/ loads fine for me – your domain mapping is in place and set correctly – you are inside the 72 hour propagation time so visiting your blog might be a bit erratic at times

  Nothing left to do unless you want to use email to match the domain name.

  What do you want to have happen by editing the DNS section?

  Thank you for your response, I was under the impression that I had to do something extra in order for it to load correctly. What would it mean for me to use email to match the domain name?

  If you had email set up at a mail host so you would have email like “you (at) jacquilyninthekitchen.com” then the DNS editing section is needed to make the email work – otherwise don’t worry about it

  when you buy domain mapping WordPress.COM automatically changes certain records and routing to make your blog work with your domain name so you don’t need to
