I also had unknowingly left loopholes for my domain that could have costed me. @Llyod - You may be right in your saying as my actions are all based on observations and assumptions. Pointing to name servers of wordpress.com would have meant inability to create new subdomains outside wordpress.com and thus I kept DNS management with me and pointed "A" entries to IP that I got by pinging the wordpress subdomain. Can you guide as to what should have been appropriate way of doing so? @David - I am glad that you came out victorious off the domain problem.
