  I have a domain through godaddy for my blog on wordpress and everything redirects fine, however I am having trouble finding the A Name here on WordPress so that I can get my e-mail through godaddy to work properly. Is there anyway to find this information out or am I SOL?

  From the wordpress.com support documntation:
  “Warning:
  Changing the name servers will make any previously setup custom DNS records such as A, CNAME, or MX records stop working, and we do not have an option for you to create custom DNS records here. If you already have email configured on your domain, you must either switch to Custom Email with Google Apps or you can use a subdomain instead which doesn’t require changing the name servers.”
