  I’ve just paid for the subdomain mapping for my blog (http://lianemusic.com). I followed the instructions shown on this page: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/#adding-a-subdomain-if-your-domain-is-mapped-to-wordpress-com

  My intention was to set up a subdomain in order to be able to have a bilingual website. But… I’m not sure if I’ve done it correctly, as the subdomain I created (http://pt.lianemusic.com) redirects to the one mentioned above. I mean, it’s the same thing! Could you help me, please?

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

  Hi lianesilva,

  I’ve tried accessing your subdomain and it’s showing me a message that says “http://pt.lianemusic.com/ is marked private by its owner.” That sounds like it’s pointing to WordPress.com already.

  If you’ve recently added the subdomain, it could be possible that the domain name settings had to take time to propagate around the internet. The standard for this is between 48-72 hours.

  Do post back if you’re still having problems accessing it after this time.

  Hi, valentine!

  Thanks for the quick reply!
  I’m no longer having trouble. I just had forgotten to assign the subdomain to a NEW wordpress blog. Meaning, I had it assigned to the one I already had, so it was no more than a redirect link.
  But thank you so much for your help.
  The website is private, while I’m still setting it up. :)
