  Hi,

  I want to enable a custom domain for my google apps e mail address, which corresponds to the website/domain that I purchased through wordpress. However, after 2 hours of frustration, I still can’t figure out how to change the CNAME. Help??

  Also, I tried figuring out how to change the MX earlier but that was crazy confusing. Several more hours and no results. If anyone can help with either of these issues, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

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

  thanks! it’s http://www.thepagepress.com. but the problem is not with that site – it’s with setting up my google apps to enable the domain to be used for e mail.

  I’m sorry but I cannot help. I can only search and locate related links. I’m afraid you will have to wait for another Volunteer to help you. :(
