How to use a sub domain for blogger

Labels: , , , 0 comments
Success at last. Anyway this tutorial is based for plus.net users but it may work for the more obscure domain providers. This process does take time and you can monitor progress by checking dns servers accross the world. More on this later......


Log in to you domain provider (plus net, godaddy, 123, 1and1 etc)


Click domain settings and then configure.


Then change your doamin settings to:

Left Field : blog (or whatever sub domain you need)
Type: CNAME
Priority: "blank"
Right Field: ghs.google.com.

** It is very very important to remember the . (dot) at the end of "ghs.google.com."
Failure to do this will result in the DNS record looking like this
ghs.google.com.blog.mydomain.com
The trailing . (dot) tells your DNS server that this is a finished line **



You then need to wait up to 72 hours for the change to be propagated throuout the web. Use this tool to check the status. DNS Checker

And thats all there is to it, any problems leave a comment and I will get back to you.

Labels: , , , , 0 comments

Here is an experiment for you, can you get help for your blog setup in the comments section of your brand new blog (its a long shot) but I am struggling!!

So I need to setup the subdomain blog.ghead.co.uk I know where I am supposed to change this in blogger but what settings do I need for the DNS settings?

Left?? Right?? CNAME A record?? I am confused. If you can shed some light on the situation please leave a note in the comments box below.

Thanks in advance

Setting up a sub domain for blogger

Labels: , , , , 0 comments

This is quite possibly the most mind bending problem I have faced so far. All I want to do is to take advantage of blogger.com kind offer of letting me point my sub domain of blog.ghead.co.uk to thewebrevenueexperiment.blogspot.com

I am using plus.net to host my domain ghead.co.uk and this is where the experiment site is located. I am told that “all” you need to do is create a CNAME for the subdomain and point it to ghs.google.com and then change the “publish” setting in blogger. So for the last few days I have tried various things and nothing seems to work. I have however found a really good site for checking DNS details http://www.squish.net/dnscheck/

The main problem is when you make a change it can take up to 72 hours to take effect, and if your impatient like me that’s just too long. I will post updates here when I have (fingers crossed) some success!!
