You still need to add a record for h8torade.com you have one for www.h8torade.com but not h8torade.com

would I do it as a "slave" in the DNS manager? Sorry, total noob here...

nope exactly the same as you did for the www record just without the www.

ok - I actually deleted my original and re-created it - just to start from scratch.

here is what it now looks like:


they both look like this for the "a" record :



I noticed the problem is that the only images that are loading are from the actual IP address of the blog.

Obs - thank you so much! DNS is now resolving as it should.

<delete please>

glad it's working

You don't need the www.h8torade.com zone at all. That isn't doing what you think it is.

What you've basically made work is this:

12:08 jsmith@upsidedown$ host www.www.h8torade.com
www.www.h8torade.com has address 173.230.144.160

You probably want to have a look at this guide (and probably this one too). Since I'm able to cheat and look at your domains, I can tell you that you can safely delete the "www.h8torade.com" zone and everything will continue working fine.
