(Does Entrecard Really Work? )
Apr 30

Just purchased a few domain names with free privacy for a buck each at GoDaddy using Mirjam’s trick from MeMyselfandI. (And this time, we didn’t mess up the free privacy when we registered the domain names :) )

Blogger gives you instructions on how to set up your custom domain name.

  • Basically set up a CNAME alias referral for
    www

    to point to the host

    ghs.google.com

But, the problem is that only works for www.yourdomain.com. If you enter just yourdomain.com, it doesn’t work.

Took us a while to figure it out, but Raymond at Compender has the fix on how to get your custom domain on blogger to work properly.

  • Basically set up another CNAME alias referral for
    yourdomainname.com

    to point to the host

    ghs.google.com

(We don’t use Google for our domain name email, but the Compender post talks about it.)

Bottom Line: So, now, www.floccinaucinihilipilificatious.info, and floccinaucinihilipilificatious.info both point to our blogspot floccinaucinihilipilificatious-info.blogspot.com

Question: What blogging platform do you use to power your blog?

    I really like bloggers simple posting system but have had some trouble trying to optimize it for search engines.

    I do own a multiple hosting account from GoDaddy and it’s pretty good for hosting a few sites.

    I will have to buy some of these buck domains very soon.
