  I have a domain setup in Office 365 and would like to use email there and redirect web traffic to my wordpress blog. From what i can see, Office365 requires me to setup a DNS A record but needs an IP address for wordpress in order to do this. It seems there is not a static IP for my wordpress site. Any ideas on how to make this happen? blog address is: floridacertifiedhomeinspection.wordpress.com

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

  There is no permanent static IP address for any WordPress.com blog. All IPs are dynamic ie. ever changing. Therefore WordPress.com does not provide static IP addresses.

  We strongly recommend that you use our name servers to map a domain to WordPress.com, as those are permanent:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  If you must use an A record, our IP addresses currently are as follows:
  66.155.9.238
  66.155.11.238
  76.74.254.120
  76.74.254.123
  192.0.80.250
  192.0.81.250

  You should create at least two A records with two of the IP addresses above. Please note that our IP addresses change regularly without notice to users, so these records may need to be updated so your domain will continue to work properly.
