  I am having trouble mapping my wordpress subdomain to my existing domain http://www.wilfredodiaz.com. I have followed these intructions below.

  Instructions for Mapping Subdomains

  Add a CNAME record through the registrar where you purchased your domain or through your DNS provider. You should NOT change your Name Server information if you wish to only map a subdomain. The CNAME should look something like the following (please note the fullstop character at the end of each domain name):
  subdomain.yourdomain.com. IN CNAME yourblog.wordpress.com.

  So after doing as said this is the message I get below,

  Someone (maybe you?) already registered myblog.wilfredodiaz.com, but the domain is not pointing to WordPress.com.

  I own this domain. Help me fix it!

  You must make some changes to your domain before we can continue. (Sorry about the technical jargon!) The preferred method is to use the tools provided by your registrar to add a CNAME record. It should look like this:

  myblog 14400 IN CNAME mrwilfredo.wordpress.com.
  Each registrar has its own method of adding CNAME records. The important parts of this record are your subdomain (“myblog”) and your original blog domain (“mrwilfredo.wordpress.com”).

  (If you have already done this it may take several hours for the changes to be recognized here. Please try again in a little while.)

  I tried to fix this but don’t know how. Would you please help me :( I’m stuck..

  Just to be sure, is myblog.wilfredodiaz.com the subdomain you’re trying to map?
