  Hi

  I want to point my domain http://www.togfonden.nu to my wordpress blog http://www.togfonden.wordpress.com
  Do I need to create a CNAME record? My host says I need to contact you guys, and they don’t think that a redirect(forward) or change of nameserver is enough.

  When people visit different pages on http://www.togfonden.nu it’s important that the url doesn’t change to the blog url: http://www.togfonden.wordpress.com

  Kind Regards
  Peter

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

  I forgot to say that right now http://www.togfonden.nu is setup to wordpress.org but as already explained I want to use the domain for my blog http://www.togfonden.wordpress.com since I have bought a theme (Bexley) that only works with wordpress.com

  It looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=togfonden.nu

  Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions!
