Can you set this up for me or walk me through the process of making these changes? I need to create A-Records for "www" and for my root domain. That's one record for "www" pointing to 199.34.228.59. And one record for the root domain pointing to 199.34.228.59.

If you need more info on these changes, please see:

Thanks!

At http://www.flipantiques.com/ here's what I see: http://d.pr/i/PNPH/4FHKTQv7

It appears to be a Weebly site, or at the very least, it's no longer a WordPress.com site.

If clearing your browser and DNS cache made no difference, I recommend resetting your modem and/or router.
