  Hi,
  I wanted to map a sub domain blog.anandprakash.com
  The domain is not registered at wordpress.
  I made changes to the CNAME as per the WordPress guide but I am not able to get it to work.
  Is there an IP address of my blog which I could configure on A records.
  Please help
  Thanks
  AP

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

  I do not see a CNAME for blog.anandprakash.com for your domain:

  

  http://who.is/dns/anandprakash.com

  Please refer to the following instructions:

  I want to point a page on my WordPress site to my ecommerce store
  justjerseycatalog.lightspeedwebstore.com. I changed the cname record in wordpress, but do I need to do anything where my domain name is registered (Go Daddy)? I already have the DNS servers on Go Daddy directed to WordPress. Either way, the cname doesn’t appear to be working. Any ideas?

  You can point a subdomain of your WordPress.com custom domain (e.g., shop.justjerseygoods.com) to your e-commerce store:
