Redirecting custom url

Hi!
I currently have my blog on wordpress using a custom URL, purchased through wordpress. I would like to redirect that URL to my smugsite so that my smug front page becomes my landing page. I don't care if the blog becomes customurl.wordpress.com, so that's fine... I just need to figure out HOW to do this. Anybody have a walk-through anywhere or willing to talk me through the steps?
Also, I need to know how/if changing this this will affect customer access to existing galleries.
Thanks in advance!!

There's a few steps to linking your custom domain with your SmugMug site. Within the DNS manager at the domain registrar, you need to point the 'www' in the CNAME recored to 'domains.smugmug.com' After that's been done, and the changes have populated you can add the custom domain address into the domain filed in the SmugMug account settings. Here's our help page on linking your custom domain with your SmugMug site: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93340-how-do-i-use-my-custom-domain-?b_id=1644
As always, SmugMug Support Heroes can help you set the domain up. Simply shoot an email to help@smugmug.com with the login credentials and we'll help link the two. Change the password to something temporary. After it's all done, you can change the password back.

Question: links off my smug homepage are still showing up as the old name - do I simply rewrite the links to point to customurl/page, or is there another step involved?

Thanks in advance!
The screen shot you pasted in shows that the A record for divatography.com is handled by wordpress. That needs to be changed.
