How to have your blog show up under your domain (for Blogger users)

I just recently pointed my blogger account to my custom domain I purchased through godaddy.com. Was a little scary when the documentation started talking CNAME aliases and such but it worked. Yay, *sigh of relief*.

So without further ado here are the links I used to help walk me through:

Here are the steps I took

First I went to godaddy.com:
  1. Went to godaddy.com and signed into my account,
  2. Selected domain I wanted to point my blog to and viewed selected domain's dashboard,
  3. From the domain dashboard selected the manage link under the 'Total DNS/MS' header,
  4. Under the header labeled 'CNAMES (Aliases)' found the row named www and selected the pencil icon to the far right,
  5. A pre-populated form appears. Changed the 'Points to Host Name' field to ghs.google.com and selected save.
Then I went to my Blogger account:
  1. I selected the 'Settings' tab and then the 'Publishing' link underneath,
  2. I entered my domain name into the domain field (make sure to enter www.youraddress.com), typed in the word verification and selected save,
  3. Then entered my domain address and viola my blog appeared.

I hope this helps and good luck!
