  Hi,

  I have registered a domain name for my blog via the dashboard.
  I am trying to enable subdomains for it, but cannot seem to find any way to do so.

  I have other domains registered with other companies and i have no problems editing dns stuff with them.

  I’m probably missing something, and i would really appreciate any help.

  Cheers

  Chris

  Hi,
  Thanks for the reply
  I have already checked the faq mentioned and it is this stage that i am coming unstuck at

  “Yes. You will need to add a DNS CNAME at your DNS provider “

  I cannot see any way to add a DNS CNAME via the DNS provider i signed up with via the dashboard on here.

  There is no option under the dns area which allows me to edit dns stuff.

  thanks again.

  The system we use does not allow adding CNAME entries.

  Argh…. That’s a pain.

  Ok, well thanks for your assitance.

  I might try and migrate it across to the other service provider i use for my other domain then.
