I'm trying to use a CNAME file in my git hub project to point to my wordpress registered domain name. E.g. example.com to point to myusername.github.com.

I read Github-Setting up a custom domain and it tells me to point the domain to their servers:

For a TLD like example.com, you should use an A record pointing to 204.232.175.78:

But in the wordpress domain manager I only get the option to specify a nameserver like this:

NS1.WORDPRESS.COM NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

Inputting 204.232.175.78 in the wordpress manager give me an "invalid TLD." What am I doing wrong and how can I troubleshoot this issue?
