Now you need to edit the DNS records you ask about in the other thread. You did not mention the email in the other thread

See below – you will need to get some info from Godaddy to make the email work

the email is no longer being returned to me but it’s also not being delivered. saw this on the support page:
If you registered your domain name here on WordPress.com, email hosting through GoDaddy is not currently available. However, you can find directions for other email providers on our main Add Email page.
not really sure what that means but could that be the problem?

Not sure,

Your domain name is registered with Godaddy not WordPress.COM so not sure if that would apply.

I have flagged this for the staff to help, but they are a bit backed up, try asking at Godaddy, however some of their Techs seem to not always be real helpful

@namihighcountry, I checked your custom DNS and everything looks correct. As long as you already had email hosting through GoDaddy, it should be working.

It can sometimes take up to 48 hours for domain changes like this to take effect, so it’s possible that it just needed a little more time. Can you let us know if you’re still having trouble with this?

@namihighcountry, I just saw your other posts about this issue. Please reply here so I can continue helping you with this.

If you had email set up through Google Apps, you will need to follow the instructions on this page to set up your email here:

Add Email through Google Apps

Please let me know if you get stuck with this and I’ll be happy to help further.

The custom DNS settings for your domain were still pointing to the GoDaddy email hosting service. (You can find these settings by clicking “Edit DNS” next to your domain under Store > Domains in your dashboard.) I just updated them for you to the Google Apps records.

Google may still need you to verify that you are the domain owner for these records to begin working. If this is the case, you may need to contact Google for additional support or check Google Apps Support for more information.

Please let me know if I can provide any further help!
