  Help ! Im caught in an infite loop. Save me before I die of old age :-P

  Im trying to map a subdomain with a CNAME redirect, I definitely don’t want to mess with the name server.
  I found http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ with a lot of information but I’m stuck at the fact that the system does not allow me to add a domain that ends in .nl

  I also can’t add a zone record because, again, .nl is not accepted.

  I cannot contact support because I haven’t made a purchase. I would if i could but the i need the zone record to be changed first, hence the infinite loop.

  What to do ?

  The problem is

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

  @sannebernhart – you should follow the instruction below to map a sub-domain – not the instructions you linked to. No change name servers required nor it looks like a zone record either.
