Mapping my domain name?
-
I used Go Daddy to purchase my domain. I have directed all of my GoDaddy info to wordpress and now on wordpress I need to enter my DNS info.
Anyone know what this means?
MX <pref> <host>
TXT <text>
CNAME <subdomain> <host>
A <subdomain> <IP>
SRV <_service._protocol> <priority> <weight> <port> <domain>I can plug things in but I don’t specifically know where to find this info.

Assuming that you’ve purchased the domain mapping upgrade to use with the domain name you purchased on GoDaddy, here’s where you’ll need to go next http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

Thanks.
Yes, I have purchased the upgrade. I have checked out all of the support topics via wordpress. I have to enter specific DNS info and I don’t know where to find it. The link you sent me does not explain. Do you know what this means:
MX <pref> <host>
TXT <text>
CNAME <subdomain> <host>
A <subdomain> <IP>
SRV <_service._protocol> <priority> <weight> <port> <domain> -
For starters you need to follow the instructions from Jennifer above – especially the part about pointing the name servers to WordPress.COM. Your name servers are not pointing to WordPress.COM – nothing will work until you fix the name servers
You don’t need to do any DNS records unless you are setting up email on Godaddy – and there is a nice pretty much auto way to do that now
