  I want to connect my purchased domain to my free wordpress site. I am unable to find it in google search but I can get to it only if I type the domain name in the url. The site can not be found because it has not been indexed. The reason it has not been inndexed it because I have a redirect on my domain. I have it redirected to my free wordpress site. Google needs a DNS record. How can I get that from my free wordpress site?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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