    Hai friendz,

    I have problem in setting up custom domain for blogger.
    I have searched in google and the concept explained there is not working.

    my problem is how to setup CName.
    My domain provider added two urls mydomainsite.com
    www.mydomainsite.com as Arecords.

    When I add a new Cname record for my blog with host as WWW and Value as ghs.google.com it shows "[FONT=Verdana,Arial]Error Message: Resource record having same details already exists"

    It seems more complicated to setup pls help.

    CNAME is also called as alias, Give your domains www cname to mentioned google address. and also domain name without www. Only this will make users with both www.urname.com and urname.com to get redirected to your blogger posts.

    I advice you to take self hosted service and import blogger posts. This will be your long term solution. Blogging is about having a online portfolio. Redirect certainly deteriorates

    setup custom domain names by following the above OR by contacting support in regards to setting up your cname -- your webhost can also do this / your registrar for you.
