  Hello.
  I recently activated the subdomain blog.healfies.com (which has been acquired at GoDaddy and transferred to AWS).
  I have found (and followed) two different instructions available at Domain Support, and none of those seemed to work:

  1) Create a CNAME to point to healfies.wordpress.com:
  I did it at Route53, and it did not worked at all.

  2) Update the NS to ns1.wordpress.com, ns2.wordpress.com, ns3.wordpress.com
  I did it at Route53, and also not working.

  Can you help me with that?

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

  Subdomain mapping requires the CNAME method as described here:

  Do keep in mind that it can take 24-48 hours for domain/DNS changes to propagate throughout the internet. It typically happens faster than that, but it really depends on your ISPs update frequency.

  Hi there,

  I was able to make it work, but I did that by setting up a CNAME pointing to wordpress.com (instead of healfies.wordpress.com, as described on the support docs).

  Thanks!
