  I am getting this error message ->
  Incorrect A Record

  The A Record for wnywomensworth.org is set to a WordPress.com nameserver. Instead, you should remove all nameservers for your domain and specify the WordPress.com nameservers below to map your domain name to a WordPress.com blog. For instructions and some important warnings before making such a change, please see this document.

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  There is information on how to set up domain mapping in our support documentation. If you need help after that, please contact our support team.

  This is for wnywomensworth.org. please help

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

  Hello,

  You will need to change your nameservers with your registrar to the following:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  You have several other records that I can see, though:

  http://who.is/dns/wnywomensworth.org

  You will need to add the TXT, MX and other records here so that they will continue to work once you change your Nameservers:

  Please do let me know if you need further help with this once you’ve done these steps.

  I changed the three c-names and I have no idea what the rest of your answer means. Sorry for my ignorance

  Hi there,

  You need to change the Nameservs, not the CNAMEs. I see that you added our Nameservers to your DNS, but you need to remove the others, the name-services.com ones.

  Also, when I looked yesterday you had several MX and TXT records (for email and for Google site verification, for example). Those are the ones that you needed to add in the WordPress dashboard link that I provided yesterday. I don’t see those records anymore here:

  http://who.is/dns/wnywomensworth.org

  I do believe that they were all Google-related records, so you should be able to get them again from your Google Apps / Google Webmaster Tools dashboard.

  Let me know once you’ve removed the extra NS records, and then we’ll see what we can do about the others after.
