Congrats Alex, nice job. Only 1 problem I’ve encountered with is the Auto-embed AdSense Position. It is set to Top-Left and i can’t change it to Bottom right, although there is an option to do so. Once i change and save it returns back to top-left and ruins the order of my posts.
OK…bottom-left works just fine for me so No Problem
Hey Nir!
Bottom-Right option for AdSense is fixed. Thanks for the tip
Hey Alex,
Nice Themes add-ons, i truly love some of them. Unfortunately, they don’t support sidebars. The one that do support – “say it” – has a narrow sidebar that cannot fit the widgets. If you can find those kind of themes with a sidebar support it would be great.
In addition, finally there is a DIG-REDDIT tag to add individually to each post, was waiting for that long time…Thanks!

1. Log into your account
2. Click on the “My Services” Tab
3. Click on the “Manage Services” button, next to the domain using DNS Management
4. Scroll Down the page and under the “Other Services” heading, next to DNS Management, click the “Manage” link
5. Enter your DNS Records
6. Click on the “Update” button
The easiest way to set up your DNS information is like this:
Address Record – also known as A Record
domain name.com ———-> IP Address
Domain name points to your IP address.

help please!
Contact me via contact form: send me your Blogetery username and domain you trying to map. I will help you out.
Hi there. I’m a new user and I’ve already successfully mapped my domain to my blogetery account, however, every time I try to visit my domain name, this message appears:
No WPMU site defined on this host. If you are the owner of this site, please check Debugging WPMU for further assistance.
Hope you could help me out. I’ve already contacted you via your contact form but I have yet to receive a reply. Thanks.
Hi,
You should map domain name without www.
I’ve fixed that for you
I’m so sorry but I have a problem. It may be that I’m just totally stupid, I thought I left a comment already but I may not have.
Anyway, I already have my own domain name I purchased a month ago, and a friend is hosting my website for me. My problem with Domain Configuration is this: I entered ‘sunnyoctober.com’ to configure and then I changed my IP. Now, the real dilemma I face is I want wordpress to redirect to my OWN domain which you know, but not my actual website itself, I was thinking maybe a subdomain since my site is actually hosted at ‘itsnearlyfree.com/carrie’, I wanted to enter ‘itsnearlyfree.com/carrie/blog’ so that my wordpress blog will show up in that section on my website like everyone else!!
But it told me my IP doesn’t match. I know I changed it before I entered the right link so is that the problem? It said my configuration changes had been saved but it still says I need to configure my domain.. Help Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaseee!!
I do not quite understand what you are trying to do
You have changed IP address for sunnyoctober.com to 12.192.82.118, that’s correct.
Now you can map this domain to your Blogetery blog (Settings -> Domain Configuration). I did this for you. You can easily unmap it by removing domain from Domain Configuration text field.
Hope this help
I think I have ADD.. nothing ever comes out the way it sounds in my head. And I get sidetracked, I do apologize immensely! Yes, I did change the IP but what I’m wondering is if it’s going to my actual website where the crap is it going to show up? That’s why I was trying to get my blog to show up on the link ‘itsnearlyfree.com/carrie/blog’. So only the enteries show up in a confined area. Does that make more sense? I just didn’t know how that would work just using my domain name. And thank you! [=
Entries* woops.
Ok yea, now I have a problem haha. I see that you did indeed fix the problem but what I was trying to do was to get my blog entries to show up simple as just that, entries in a confined area on my index.html page. Just as a normal personal website blog. I had this problem the last time I tried to do it. My whole website is gone ’cause this is over it. How do I get it to just show entries in my own websites layout.. and colors.. etc. in one area.. not my whole website?? And again I thank you so much for your help! I’ve been going insane for weeks now trying to figure it out.
I’m in desperate need of help! My custom domain is premiershiptalk.com and it’s managed by Enom. I configured it so hostname “@” points to the IP address. Also, the hostname “www” points to that IP address. In my domain configuration, I put in premiershiptalk.com and it says it was successfully mapped. However, I get the error message that “No WPMU site defined on this host.”
It seems to works fine now
I was wondering if you could enable another WordPress plugin that formats blogs for iPhones. The plugin is called WPTouch.
any change to add this plugins to this host ?
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oneclick/
Ok. I was on here before, but I recently got a new blog. I have one question. It may seem complicated but I dont think it is..
I have a blog now at blogiance.com, my domain name is sunnyoctober.com hosted somewhere else other than where my site is hosted at. I bought space awhile back.
My question is this, instead of using ‘fatcow.com’s free templates for this blog, how do I get wordpress on my own FTP? Now, I have signed up for a blog on blogiance as I previously mentioned, but the version of this blog and the version of WP that I downloaded on the actual wordpress.com website, are different.
I just want to know how that would work? Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thank you!
Many problems with the new Themes. Looks like some of the are closed at the syntax, causing the test to be pushed below the white background and aligned to the left. I’ve tested them all and it appears like they just can;t work with Microsoft Explorer. I just wish for 2/3 columns wide Theme that can handle both browsers and implement all the sidebar widgets.
Ment to say: some of the are closed.
why i can’t embbed youtube videos?? i m copying youtube html code at html format at posts and nothing happen
not only youtube actually i can’t paste html code
I’m talking about Themes like this one: http://webdemar.com/demo with wide writing place and wide sidebar that fully support widgets. It can be downloaded from here: http://webdemar.com.
The “Say It” theme, for example, was great, but had 2 problems – first, it has a narrow sidebar that wasn’t effective and it wasn’t compatible with Microsoft Explorer browser.
The clean black looks cool !
rlsmusic: To embed youtube video, you have to copy the code and then go to the HTML section and paste it inside the “MEDIA” window.
hi, please i use ;the beauty within theme’. I cant seem to use entrecard with my blog, is there anyway i can do that?
Thanks a lot!
yeah i mapped my domain http://www.phpbb3stylers.com to blogetery some 2 days back, but still it is not mapped perfectly and it is giving some error reports that “The domain you trying to map has wrong IP address: 67.215.66.132. IP change may take some time to update”. i already waited for 2 days so please try to help me out in mapping my domain. my domain is in 123-reg.co.uk
i want some one who can solve this quickly
Hi,
Seems you haven’t map your domain correctly. You have to change your domain IP to 67.215.66.132. In the other words set A record to 67.215.66.132.
Now your A record is empty.
yeah admin the ip which i need to map is 67.148.95.176 as given in the domain configuration page in blogetery, then why u are asking to map with 67.215.66.132. now also the same problem arises can you clear the problem quickly
