  Hi, I’m trying to add a link to my blog on google+ and I’m putting in what i thought was my blog url, http://www.qtteaco.wordpress.com , but it keeps disallowing me to add it, telling me to add a valid url. If this is not my valid url, what is?
  Thank you!
  Kylie

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

  Is there a reason you aren’t just using http://blog.qtteaco.com when you post on google+?

  You should also be able to use http://qtteaco.wordpress.com

  Thanks for your reply, I’m actually trying to add the link to our About info, not just post on Google+
  I’ve tried both options including blog.qtteaco.com but each time, I get a message saying to type in a valid irk ?

  You have domain mapping – try http://blog.qtteaco.com/

  there is no www in WordPress.COM blogs

  Nope, still says in a red box to enter a valid URL..

  Those are definitely valid URLs, so there must be something else going on.

  Are you entering http:// in front of the address? It must be exact, with the colon and both slashes.

  Also, maybe check and make sure there aren’t any extra spaces anywhere in the URL that shouldn’t be there.

  Thanks Brian, will try again tomorrow in case there was something else amiss, but I was definitely putting it in correctly, tried multiple times, no spaces, all slashes and the colon correct. It’s a bit of a mystery.. Thanks anyway, hopefully I’ll have better luck tomorrow :)

  Hi Kylie,

  Are you still having trouble with this, or did it work for you in the end?

  If you’re still getting an error, can you let me know exactly where you are entering the URL in Google+ and what you’re entering there? That will help me investigate to see if there’s anything I can do to help with it. :)
