  you show that outlook.com is an option for email hosting.

  my understanding is that this is no longer true. see
  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/migrate-custom-domain

  “After July 2014, domain administrators will no longer be able add or remove email accounts in your domain. Domain administrators are encouraged to move to Office 365 to get enhanced features and capabilities for modern enterprise-class mail, collaboration and communications.”

  so i’m sending this as a heads up to you kind folks at wp.com

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

  ok. that link
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/add-outlook-email/
  is now a broken link – i suggest perhaps leaving that page there with a note indicating why it’s no longer an option – someone might arrive there via a link or search …

  It has been redirected to the Office 365 support guide:
