 * Wanted to also mention that the client will now be using GoDaddy webmail as the
   email client, so I needed to ensure that worked smoothly as well.

 * ok, tried again today and new site is up and running!
 * Here is what I did differently this time:
 * 1. GoDaddy allows creation of an off-site DNS so that I can update the advanced
   fields, so I created “existsite” as an off-site DNS in GoDaddy. GoDaddy gives
   special nameservers in order to use this option.
    2. I exported the DNS zone 
   info for “newsite”. 3. From Network Solutions (the registrar for “existsite”)
   I pointed the nameservers to those specified by the off-site DNS in GoDaddy. 
   4. I imported the DNS zone file from “newsite” into the off-site DNS on GoDaddy
   for “existsite”. 5. I changed the WordPress Home and Site URLs to “existsite”.
   6. In GoDaddy, I made “existsite” the primary domain instead of “newsite”.
 * It took about 30 minutes or so but everything was accessible after that. One 
   problem I didn’t think of fixing beforehand was that I had href links on some
   of my pages that were referencing “newsite”. I had to change those manually but
   luckily there weren’t very many.

 * Thanks, I will look into it.
 * I have also read in various posts/articles that the A Name may need to be changed
   to point to the new IP address?

 * leejosepho, thanks for responding.
 * I did change the URLs through the dashboard settings to “existsite” :(.
 * This seems like it should be straightforward, so I’m missing something. Is there
   anything else for the DNS that needs to be changed?

 * Well, this problem seems to have resolved itself. I deleted my original pages
   with the comment and trackback boxes. When I recreated them, the new pages now
   only display what I type!
