  http://uintahlibrary.org/ is mapped to http://uintahlibrary.wordpress.com/ and working correctly

  Is there another URL you need help with?

  Have you remembered to renew the domain name?

  The domain for my institution’s old website is uintah.lib.ut.us, which displays an error in the browser window. I need traffic addressed to uintah.lib.ut.us redirected/forwarded to uintahlibrary.org.

  Thank you.

  I don’t know if you can map that domain to your site here or not – the domain name looks strange to me – above my pay-grade – see below for mapping an existing domain name

  You could also change things at the registrar or web site level to just redirect to your site here – you need to talk to your IT people for that –

  I have also flagged this for staff attention to help you

  I have manually added a zone record for your domain.

  You should now be able to map it here following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
