I guess I'll just have to wait out the 60 days for the rest of it.

Thank you.

If you need more, it looks like you'll need to transfer your domain to another registrar.

It tells me that "A records are for subdomains only. We reserve the mapped domain's A records."

Support seems to come along and rescue them, but I'm having trouble getting a response.

The nameservers control where traffic for the domain goes using DNS. If you are moving from WordPress.com to a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, you can enter the nameservers provided by your web hosting company to switch your domain to their hosting service. If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers

I'm wanting to point the domain I purchased through wordpress to squarespace. I'm hoping a happiness engineer or staff member can set this up for me as I am unable to manage A records from the DNS manager.

I would simply transfer to another registrar, but my 60 days aren't up yet and I would like this to happen asap.

The domain is http://www.analogue01.com

Thank you in advance.
