  I have registered a domain (workingsweng.com.br) and I would like to redirect it to my blog at WordPress.com (workingsweng.wordpress.com). I have alread defined as DNS ns1.wordpress.com, but when I access my domain, wordpress.com root page is loaded.
  How can I redirect directly to my blog?
  Blog url: http://workingsweng.wordpress.com/

  I’ve just added a new zone record for that domain. Can you wait a few moments and then try updating your domain name servers once more?

  I am trying to set the existing domain in my wordpress.com blog, but I continue to receive “Someone (maybe you?) already registered workingsweng.com.br, but the domain is not pointing to WordPress.com.”.

  In my domain provider, I have configured the following DNSs:
  http://www.workingsweng.com.br – CNAME – ns1.wordpress.com
  blog.workingsweng.com.br – CNAME – ns2.wordpress.com
  workingsweng.com.br – MX – ns3.wordpress.com

  Is that DNSs settings ok?
  Am I expected to pay Domain Mapping upgrade before being allowed to add existing domains to my blog?

  Those settings won’t work.

  You’ll need to change the name servers to:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  Then, you can proceed with these instructions:

  If you need help changing your name servers, please contact your domain registrar.
