  I put in the A records but what else do I need to add for it to work?
  Blog url: http://infinitelyboundless.wordpress.com/

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

  It’s not possible to map the root domain (www) with an A record. The A record will only work when you map a different subdomain (eg blog.yourdomain.com).

  To point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), please follow the instructions here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers

  Note you will need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)

  Hope this helps – let us know if you have any more questions!

  Kardotim thank you! I did what you linked and let’s hope this works – I parked the domain at my host (where I’m pointing it to) which is what they told me to do.
