   This may look like similar posts but to my knowledge its not, plese read carefully:

   Ok.. so I used to have a wordpress.com blog titled misanthropytoday.wordpress.com
   (in fact, i still do).

   Anyhow, I purchased the domain mapping feature and then it was http://misanthropytoday.com
   .

   Just recently I decided to move over to wordpress.ORG and transferred everything over and installed all smooth. Then i noticed that my URL was http://www.misanthropytoday.com
   but when I typed in without www. it took me to my old blog ?! I've tried a few .htaccess things and its making my life miserable.

   Many people still link to me using that one and i want to:
   1) have my new blog (currently at www.) appear whether someone types www or not

   I'm guessing this has something to do with .COM's domain mapping but I think it would be easy since my DNS is no longer pointed at wordpress.

   Someone please help. I just harouken punched my dog over this.

   umm, so we are clear, this is confusing. Why is http://misanthropytoday.com redirecting me to http://www.misnthropytoday.com/

   notice the names are different?

   misnthropytoday.com
   misanthropytoday.com

   Is that something that you typo'd maybe in the wordpress.com settings or your .htaccess? (just a stab in the dark)

   its trivial to redirect non-www urls to the other but you have to use the right domain name :)

   and Im sorry, but what usefulness is there to a tag titled "harouken punch" ?? what can that possibly add to the searchability of the forum?

   On looking further,

   dig ns misanthropytoday.com
   
   ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> ns misanthropytoday.com
   ;; global options:  printcmd

   misanthropytoday.com.   86389   IN      NS      dns1.midphase.com.

   There's nothing pointing back to wordpress.com that would cause what your seeing. Fix the typo in your htaccess solution and you ought to be good to go.
