    If you're talking about using your own domain with a blogger blog then what you actually do is 'point' your domain name at the blogger blog. You do this by changing or creating a DNS setting called CNAME.

    You can read about it here: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55373

    You won't be able to use FTP etc. You will still have to use the blogger interface to make posts and modify your blogger blog.

    Instead of using the blogger address like myblog.blogspot.com you can now use your own domain like myblog.com and it will display your blogger page.

    The blogger address will still work but I think it gets redirected to your new domain.
