  I have set up a blog on WordPress using the domain that I own. This is registered with Yahoo! I went into Advanced DNS settings to change the name server but Yahoo tells me I have to keep them as the primary and secondary name servers in order to keep that service. This only leaves two spaces to include the WordPress domains. I have put in ns1.wordpress.com and ns2.wordpres.com but there is no room for ns3.wordpress.com. The consequence of all this is that I keep seeing the Yahoo! “Site under Construction” page and not my new WordPress blog page. Please can you help?

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

  In order to map the domain here, the nameservers must only be:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  What sort of service do you want to keep with Yahoo (besides the domain registration, of course)?

  Thanks macmanx. I just want to keep with Yahoo! for the domain registration, nothing more. Do I just put in the ns1,2,3 name servers and delete the rest?
