I’ve been using Blot.im to host my blog for a year or two. It’s worked fairly well, but I’ve found the Obsidian back end to be tedious. Getting the titles right, the formatting, how to get the page to display properly; it’s been a bit frustrating at times. I’ve also read some things lately mentioning the person who runs Blot. I guess he’s basically vanished and stopped responding to support requests?
I realize Wordpress gets a lot of heat and I get it, I’ve used it before. But I just want a place to go where I can quickly write a post and move on.
I signed up for a year and have my domain purchased through Fastmail. I just can’t for the life of me figure out how to get things setup so when you type my domain name (e.g. www.JoeyJoeJoeJuniorShabadoo) you go to my Wordpress blog.
The instructions on the Wordpress site are as follows:
But there is nothing in the Fastmail settings that says “Name Server”. I ended up adding an “NS” (Name Server??) entry on the fastmail side, but it’s not working.
I emailed Fastmail and their response was “oh yeah, no problem. Just go to the domain settings and do what the Wordpress instructions say, change the name servers”.
I’ve emailed them to follow up, but I thought I’d check with the brain power on here as well. Might be a faster, more “my language” response to the issue.
