  get www to display. I cannot get this to work – should it take more than a few hours once I’ve added the www into the cname alias or is it not working for me?

  Hi there. This is not possible. The www will always be stripped from WordPress.com-hosted sites, in order to insure that your website is indexed properly by search engines.

  You can certainly have a www in your links to your site, or on your business cards, etc — http://www.gjonesart.com will always forward to gjonesart.com. Your visitors will not see an error of any kind.

  Hope this clears things up! If I can answer any other questions, please let me know. Thanks.
