Andy,
Thanks for the update. That page talks about changing DNS, but change it to what? When I click on the small link, near the bottom in the last sentence, 'You can find detailed instructions for a list of registrars here', the page has no information regarding the instruction as to what DNS entries I'm suppose to use. I know you're not CloudFlare support, but I think they need to better documentation. There's no speak of DNS changes in a user's account. Anyway, enough ranting about a 3rd party tool. Do you know what DNS settings I'm suppose to use?

Andy,
I did notice this message in my account on CloudFlare:
Your DNS zone file is hosted by your host provider in partnership with CloudFlare. Changes to your DNS settings must be made through your provider's control panel.
There again... change the DNS to what? They really need better documentation.

I know what you mean Don,
Done a bit more digging. It looks like...
www.newelementdesigns.com resolves to cloud flare
newelementdesigns.com doesn't resolve to cloudflare
So you need to do this...

The CloudFlare partnership is indeed, a good move, however, I've hosted on another provider which also had the same type of partnership.
What happens is that whence you connect CloudFlare to your hosting, it looks on DNS and does all the setup for you, however, when to move out of the provider to another, CloudFlare is unable to allow you to change any DNS setup. The only way to do that is to delete the account and start over which is not good if you've apps setup already and great flux of statistics going, as you loose everything.
I know this by experience. What I do is to create CloudFlare apart from any hosting partners, and then add or change the DNS manually, this way I keep my statistics as apps setups always running.
