  I want to use 3rd party name servers for my custom domain. What settings do I need to use on GoDaddy to use my custom domain for my WordPress.com blog.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You need to Manage the domain there and set the nameservers to point to us.

  The wordpress.com nameservers are
  ns1.wordpress.com ns2.wordpress.com ns3.wordpress.com

  Won’t that conflict with my Office 365 implementation on the domain? Can’t I set this up using CNAME entries instead?

  In that case set up an A record. Point your wordpress.com blog at 192.0.78.25
  All other dns entries will not then be affected.
