  I have purchased the site redirect and have pointed my goDaddy DNS servers to the three wordpress DNS lists and cannot access the site from http://www.theporterbaby.com. GoDaddy support tells me it may be something on the WordPress site.
  Blog url: http://theporterbaby.wordpress.com/

  Howdy,

  Would you like your domain name (http://www.theporterbaby.com) to point to your blog at http://theporterbaby.wordpress.com/?

  If so, then you’ll want to use the Domain Mapping upgrade instead of the Site Redirect upgrade. Read more about domain mapping here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/

  The Site Redirect upgrade is for users moving away from WordPress.com, who want those visiting their old address at WordPress.com to be redirected to their new website outside of WordPress.com.

  Please note that you can request a refund for your Site Redirect upgrade within 30 days of purchase, if you decide that it’s not what you wanted.

  Thanks for the info. Where do I find the DNS records/information?

  The DNS changes that need to be made to direct your domain here must be made on GoDaddy’s end.

  Also, it looks like you have both a Site Redirect and Domain Mapping upgrade, which is causing a loop.

  Would you like me to cancel and refund your Site Redirect upgrade?
