IP address of my blog?
-
My DNS is hosted elsewhere, but I would like it to point towards my new wordpress.com blog (laoportunidadinc.wordpress.com) How can I find the static IP address of my blog, if there is one?
Thanks!

(The company hosting our DNS forwarded me this link, but it doesn’t seem to apply to our free wordpress account, am I correct? http://vip.wordpress.com/documentation/mapping-your-domain-and-managing-dns/#using-3rd-party-nameservers)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no permanent IP address for any WordPress.com blog. WordPress.com does not provide static IP addresses, so you won’t be able to map your domain by IP if that’s what you are trying to do.
Domain mapping is reliable and it’s not free of charge. If you would like to use your domain you will first need to purchase a domain mapping upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/ set up domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

Hi laoportunidadinc,
To use a domain registered elsewhere to point to WordPress.com, you will need to purchase domain mapping and update your nameservers.
Please see http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/ for more information on how to do this.
