  Hi,

  I just mapped my team blog, http://kafilabackup.wordpress.com, to the domain, kafila.org. However, the page is showing as http://kafila.org and even if you go to http://www.kafila.org it redirects you to http://kafila.org. How can I get my WWW?

  The www is stripped out, as per the FAQ:

  Note: You cannot map only the “www” subdomain since we remove the www from all the URLs at wordpress.com.

  As long as it is taking your readers to the right place, that’s the most important thing. As the internet moves forward, you’ll find that the W’s are considered somewhat old-fashioned and limiting. Quite a lot of computers have no access to sites on www, but have access to sites that aren’t.

  Oops. May be I *am* old-fashioned, and like to see www everywhere. Anyway, this seems to be one of those small things one has to put up with for the otherwise excellent domain mapping service.

  thanks vivianpaige and raincoaster
