    I registered a Domain Name"techfreakstuff.com" from Indialinks.com
    I have a blog named "http://techinfinite.blogspot.com" and i want to use the domain name as a custom domain with this blog. I tried to change the Cname entries of this domain to "ghs.google.com" and then using the domain name in Blogger.com publisher settings.But it doesnt seem to redirect my blog to my custom domain. So I m unable to use this domain. Please guide me with the exact settings in Cname, A and MX Record fields.

    Waiting for help from you guys....Reply soon

    Yeah, whenever you change nameservers or forwarding, you should wait at least 24 hours for your ISP's DNS servers to pick it up.

    If u mean you want to forward the domain name "techfreakstuff.com" to your blog page "http://techinfinite.blogspot.com" then simply create a CName record and forward it to the blogspot website. Let me know if this is not the case?

    It take times, and when it finally does, you will be amazed.

    But wait... what did you use as the CNAME? It should be www or @ if you want the main domain to show your blog.

    Thanks friends that now my domain is working..but now i m having another problem..when i type "www.techfreakstuff.com" my blog gets opened but when i type only "techfreakstuff.com" (without www) my blog does not get opened.

    What modifications are needed ?
    Do I need to make another Cname entry using @ instead of www for ghs.google.com ?
