Mapping Your Domain Name
You can make a more professional identity for your Blogger blog by configuring it to point to one of the domain names you registered through GoDaddy.
So instead of entering your Blogger URL to view your latest blog post, visitors enter your domain name's URL.
For example, by mapping your yummy-tales.blogspot.com blog to your www.yummytales.com domain name, visitors focus solely on your domain name.
To point your Blogger blog to your domain name
- You set up domain name mapping, which configures your blog settings and domain name.
- You update your settings in your Blogger account and to GoDaddy's Domain Manager:
- Park the domain name you want to use with your Blogger account on GoDaddy's parked nameservers.
- Edit the www CNAME record for the domain name you want to use with your Blogger account. This update tells the Web browser to open your Blogger blog when visitors enter your domain name's URL in the browser address bar.
- Forward your domain name to use www. This step ensures your Blogger blog displays for visitors who go to your domain name with or without the www prefix. For example, it displays for visitors who entered both www.coolexample.com and coolexample.com.
- Configure your Blogger account to use your domain name.
