    Description

      Hi John,

      We're going to use Wordpress to host our blog, but we'd like to map it to a subdomain so that it stays "Currikified." Can we please have "blog.curriki.org" for this purpose? The URL of our blog is http://currikiblog.wordpress.com.

      Here are the instructions from Wordpress:

      Subdomains

      You can map a subdomain to your WordPress.com blog for 9.97 credits ($9.97) per year. This is ideal for web administrators who already have a functioning website at a primary domain, example.com, and wish to use blog.example.com as the official domain/URL for their WordPress.com-powered blog. Note that you cannot map the "www" subdomain because WordPress.com removes the "www" from all URLs.

      1. Add a CNAME record through the registrar where you purchased your domain or through your DNS provider. You should NOT change your Name Server information if you wish to only map a subdomain. The CNAME should look something like the following (please note the fullstop character at the end of each domain name):

      subdomain.yourdomain.com. IN CNAME yourblog.wordpress.com.

      When that is set up, please let me know; I can do the rest of it on the Wordpress side.

      Thank you! Please email me at kpatterson@curriki.org if you have any questions.
