  I can’t get my domain to transfer to Squarespace. According to WordPress instructions, I’m supposed to go into my domain manager, unlock it, send myself registration info, and then give that info to the new host. Squarespace has no place to input this info.

  According to Squarespace, I’m supposed to create a CNAME record and an A record. WordPress error message tells me A records are for subdomains. I don’t know what to do with that.

  Can someone just tell me how to do this in a way that makes sense?

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