    I too tried my best to switch to a custom .com domain instead of .blogspot but i didn't found any change even after 24 hours & then later i again switched back to .blogspot extension... I successfully installed all DNS settings like CNAME records, etc as blogger help page instructed.

    I think, the best way to add a custom .com domain extension at blogspot is by buying domain through blogger itself.

    I later asked my registrar to redirect my blog mackgon.com to mackgon.blogspot.com .. i think, it's the best solution for blogspot user.. ;)
