Hi I set up my new site and filled out approopriate boxes to use domain mapping for my domain name.
Really strange thing is that it works with safari only. I checked from iphone and the mac in the house using safari and www.thecalmtechcoach.com takes me to http://calmtechcoach.snappages.com However when I use firefox or IE I get taken to the previous mapped site which is my blog. (http://thecalmtechcoach.typepad.com/)

I thought I read something about this issue somewhere but can't find the source. I've turned the modem off for several hours and cleared caches but it's made no difference.

Any thoughts on this and on my new landing page while you're there?
cheers
Helen

This is most likely because you are doing some sort of forwarding instead of actually pointing the a-record to your the ip address. I'm really not sure why the way you did it actually works on safari, but the only thing I know works for sure is to actually point the a record.

Glad to hear it's working now. Any ideas what they changed so that it might help others?
