I have also looked at that article. As far as I know I am following the instructions to a T.
WPyogi – is it possible to redirect traffic from the broken ellepottsie.com (once I have changed the name server back to the netfirms domain) to go to ellepottsie.wordpress.com? Then would I be able to make the broken ellepottsie.com private to be able to work on it while still allowing visitors to view the wordpress.com version?
Hope that makes sense.
