  Hi,

  I’m having trouble verifying my WordPress site through Google Apps/Mail. I have done all the right things, added the appropriate MX records, yet nothing works.

  When I add an MX record into WordPress’s DNS Records, I cannot use ‘@’ as a Host name (as Google instructs me to do..), nor can I leave it blank to proceed.

  Any help as Google is proving useless?!?

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

  Hi Bram,

  There have been some recent troubles with the new DNS editor in the new Calypso interface (just when you want to enter a root DNS record).

  If you go to our old DNS editor right here: https://goliathlifestyle.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains you should be able to enter all of the records just fine!

  Let me know if you have any questions!
