  I would like to map an existing domain, but it is saying I need to register the CNAME. I did that.

  I would like to redirect my blog to:

  blog.nba-draft-experts.com

  Could you please assist me in incorporating that URL?

  Thank you,

  Brett D. Roberts
  Blog url: http://nbadraftexperts.wordpress.com/

  First step is to go to the registrar where you purchased your nba-draft-experts.com domain and add a CNAME record there pointing from “blog” to “nbadraftexperts.wordpress.com”.

  Once that is done, wait for that change to take effect (usually takes a couple hours on average, could be sooner though).

  Then go to your blog’s Store → Domains page, add blog.nba-draft-experts.com to the form at the top of the page, click the ‘Add domain to blog’ button, and follow the prompts.

  See http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ for more detailed steps if needed.
