(newbie) Using Blogspot, own domain, url without "www" doesn't redirect

    The world of internet adventures opened for me, and I just encountered my first problem. :p

    I started a blog with Blogger, bought a domain from Godaddy and redirected the blogspot URL to that one.
    Now I noticed that the url with "www" leads to a Godaddy page. I can't figure out how to fix that.
    Okay, I have to edit something in the CNAME DNS section. If I understood correctly, I have to add a host "www" that points to "@". However, "www" already points to ghs.google.com. Blogger told me to do that. I can't add a second "www".

    So what do I do? :)

    Normally it takes up to 24 hours maybe 48 for the DNS servers to update.

    It takes a while for our planet named "Earth" to get from left to right. If you have waited this long then you might need to check your name servers if you have entered them correctly.

    Yeah, I noticed changes taking some time.

    I didn't touch the settings in a few weeks (only noticed the problem yesterday). So update time is not the cause here. I'm lost at how to edit the settings now.
