sharedjourneys Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 My website is hosted here at TCH. To map a domain name to my typepad blog...instructions from typepad tells me to go in and change the DNS, but there is no DNS because the site is hosted is TCH. I set up a redirect, and that's working just fine. Now how do I get the www.sitename.com to come up, on redirect the blog address replaces the www.sitename.com. Sorry I may not be using the correct terminology but Do I create a mask? Thanks so much. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Not sure I am understanding the question. Do you have a website and a blog over at typepad? If that is the case you would need a separate domain name for your typepad blog. Quote

If that is the case you would need a separate domain name for your typepad blog. Thanks for the reply, here's my problem I have a Typepad blog. I have a website hosted here at TCH. I ran the TCH website as a stand-alone with a link to the Typepad blog (since 2005). I want to keep the website at TCH and set up subdirectories for other purposes. I want the www.website.com url to show up instead of the Typepad URL, so when people see the blog posts-the permalink url of that posts reads www.website.com/post.htm not www.typepad.com/post.htm Right now the url takes a person the the typepad blog and I lose the url. it goes from www.website.com>>www.website.typepad.com. I won't find the answers at Typepad on this one. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Can't be done if you have a website as www.website.com will bring up your website. Most people that have a website and a blog install something like Wordpress and run it from a subdomain. (that may be a possibility for typepad as well, I don't know) Quote
