  WordPress SubDomain mapping info says:
  “The CNAME should look something like the following

  subdomain.yourdomain.com. IN CNAME yourblog.wordpress.com.”

  But I’m unclear. When I create my CNAME should my CNAME look something like this??
  blog.mtnspirit.org IN CNAME mtnspirit.wordpress.com

  Do I include the SPACE before IN, after IN and after CNAME then SPACE??

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

  I’m unclear about which blog you are referring to. This is because you failed to post the complete and clickable URL for the blog in question, starting with http://

  No, in fact, it isn’t. The correct and complete URL for your blog as I stated above starts with http://

  You see without the http:// we volunteers have to waste our time typing it into the browser bar rather than just clicking it.

  http://mtnspirit.wordpress.com
