  I’ve searched at length to figure out how to get my site to point to http://www.martinglynjonesphotography.com/ It is fine with the non www and in My Profile it says the site is http://www.martinglynjonesphotography.com/ I even went on Hostica and did a forward though I’m not sure why that would have done anything. All that I’ve read seems to indicate that it should automatically go to either but it is not happening. If you go to http://www.martinglynjonesphotography.com/ you get a 404 error
  Thanks,
  Martin

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

  Hi Martin,

  Please note that WordPress.com automatically removes the “www” from all URLs. Any traffic to http://www.martinglynjonesphotography.com will be redirected to martinglynjonesphotography.com.

  Redirecting the first version of your URL to the second version helps to ensure that search engines index your site properly.

  If you go to http://www.martinglynjonesphotography.com/ you get a 404 error

  I’m not seeing an error at the moment.

  Please let me know if you have any questions!
