  I’m trying to point my domain to Squarespace, but I’m not sure I’m entering the correct requirements. Squarespace suggests creating a CNAME and A records. I’ve tried to this by:

  1) Going to my blog
  2) Dashboard > Store > Domains
  3) Edit DNS
  4) Adding these:

  A autodiscover 65.39.205.57
  CNAME autodiscover http://www.squarespace6.com.

  The Squarespace errors I’m receiving are below. I’m hoping someone can tell me if I’m creating the CNAME and A records correctly, of if there’s something else I need to do.

  Record Type: A Current Value: 76.74.254.120 Correct Value: 65.39.205.57
  Record Type: A Current Value: 76.74.254.123 Correct Value: 65.39.205.57
  Record Type: A Current Value: 72.233.2.58 Correct Value: 65.39.205.57
  Record Type: A Current Value: 72.233.69.6 Correct Value: 65.39.205.57
  Record Type: A Current Value: 74.200.243.251 Correct Value: 65.39.205.57
  Record Type: A Current Value: 74.200.244.59 Correct Value: 65.39.205.57
  Record Type: CNAME Current Value: matthewleonard.me Correct Value: http://www.squarespace6.c

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

  I flagged you other thread for Staff attention yesterday and I’m sorry you did not get the help your need. I’m flagging this thread for their attention now.
