    I've tried to connect my domain name (godaddy) to blogger account and didn't success

    In Blogger help written: create a CNAME record for it to point to ghs.google.com

    I've tried to created new record and change existing record but no results
    There are 2 fields
    "Host" and "point to"
    I wrote ghs.google.com in the field "point to"
    what I need to write in the second field?

    Maybe there are additional things I should know?

    Thanks in advance

    write subdomain name or www if you want to point on domain name like www(.)domainname(.)com, blog.domainname.com

    go to GoDaddy, manage domain, choose redirect and place your blogger blog link in the redirect area then ok, when a user visit yourdomain.com he will be redirected to your blogger blog
    is it what you want?
