  I redirected my blog (tenderhooligan.wordpress.com) to my domain this morning (blog.tenderhooligan.com) and it was perfect for a while.

  Then, suddenly, my domain page went from being my blog to being what I have pasted below (this can also be seen if you click the domian link). My friend, who manages my site, didn’t change anything so I can’t work out if the problem with the redirect is on my site or on WP. I have cancelled the redirect and reinstated it a number of times now, but I always get what I have pasted below.

  Thank you. :)

  You need to use a CNAME on blog.tenderhooligan.com and point it to tenderhooligan.wordpress.com. You need to do that on your domain’s DNS setup. blog.* is currently pointing at your own webspace.

  Hope this helps,
