Thank you Ron, but what about Step 1 ? Is the target value that you enter into the CNAME record supposed to be the blog’s primary domain name??? (When I say primary domain, I am referring to the domain name where the WP blog is hosted at) I ask because your primary URL was ottodestruct.com/op/ but the CNAME target field does not allow me to save domains with sub-directory folders in the URL, such as /op/ … it only lets me input domain names and sub-domain names.
But the reason why I’m resorting to the CNAME method, is because the IP address method is not working… I have everything properly configured according to your instructions and diagrams, but when I navigate to the vanity/pretty domain name, all I get is a 404 Not Found page.
Bharatstop, I’m pretty sure this is what you’re looking for:

Even though the instructions are for TypePad, they’re very applicable to WordPress since the changes you’ll need to make will most likely be at your registrar.
