  I have pointed sng.org to sewardorg.wordpress.com and would like to create a subdomain on an outside server. I see how to do this with a WordPress.com registered domain but not another registrar. Can I edit DNS at WordPress.com to do this?

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

  Doesn’t really help.

  sng.org was previoiusly hosted at Integra and they still will provide email. I would like to be able to link back via the web to old content if necessary. So I’d like a subdomain like ‘seward.sng.org’ that will take people to the old content.

  This link almost gets me there (see section Pointing a subdomain of a domain registered with WordPress.com to an outside website)

  But it says data for CNAME must always be a domain name and not an IP Address. All I have to work with at Integra is an IP Address. Do I have to purchase a 2nd domain to link to?
