Subdomain issue

  I purchased the $13 domain name option. I did not want to change my nameservers in order to have my wordpress blog url at a subdomain of my domain (wordpress.recycleparty.com) so I added a CNAME record as described in the directions.

  Now wordpress.recycleparty.com AND recycleparties.wordpress.com are both hopping back over to my main site (www.recycleparty.com). When I perform a trace route on wordpress.recycleparty.com is does end up at wordpress.com, so something on wordpress is redirecting it back to my www site (or pointing back to my A record)

  I tried following the directions at http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/ but the field next to the “Add a domain” button would not accept wordpress.recycleparty.com (or any other subdomain) – the only thing it would accept was the naked domain (recycleparty.com). This is the only part of my setup that does not match the directions at http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain but I see no way to change it. Please advise.

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

  Hi there,

  I just took a look at your site and right now both wpress.recycle.com and recycleparties.wordpress.com are resolving OK (without redirecting to your main site).
