Suzanne, take the "www." off the url and it will work.

If you want the hostname "www.blog...etc" to work, you have to set it up at your domain registrar.

Right now this is how you have "www..." set up at your registrar:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.blog.4inspirationsphotography.com. 7139 IN A 205.178.189.129

Compare that to how, as you noted above, "blog..." is set up:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
blog.4inspirationsphotography.com. 7144 IN CNAME suzannemcgrathphotography.typepad.com.
suzannemcgrathphotography.typepad.com. 544 IN A 204.9.177.195

To put it another way, "a.b.com" is a different hostname than "www.a.b.com". Just adding a "www." onto the beginning of a hostname doesn't automatically do anything.

Does that make sense?

Can you post a screenshot, including the address bar, of what you see when you click on this link?

http://blog.4inspirationsphotography.com

Also, are you using Windows or OS X, and which browser are you using?

Jeremy's right, the blog is up at the address but you'll need to fix the image links inside your posts.

If you go to edit each post and click on the "html" tab, you'll see the image links look like this:

s helpful!

It takes a while for DNS changes to propagate and for caches to clear, in fact your computer itself may be caching the old DNS. It can be very frustrating, yes.

"blog.4inspirationsphotography.com" is working for me now, and as far as I can tell you've got it set up right, though it looks like you've turned off the domain mapping in your typepad account right now.

Well, that's quite embarrassing. We've rolled back that feature *again*. Your feeds should be ok now, but let us know if you see any more problems. Really sorry about the trouble.

Alan, what's the url of the feed you see breaking?

Kevin G. replied on February 09, 2010 19:18 to the problem "RSS feed not working in IE" in Six Apart:

Yep, that's it exactly. The strange iframe is the new blog-side toolbar that we're rolling out, offering some nice functionality on the blog if you're logged-in. It's not supposed to be attached to the rss feeds though, so we've stopped the rollout until we've got that part fixed.

This should be fixed as of a couple minutes ago. Sorry about that!

It's working now if you add the "www".
