Trouble re- directing new domain to Blogger

    Hi everyone,

    I'm no wizard in the domain world, and I'm writing to you experts in the hope you can help me resolve an issue I have.

    I recently opened a blog over at Blogger (they are hosting the blog), and I bought a domain for the blog at GoDaddy. I already have one domain there, so I thought it would be easy for me to re-direct the domain to my blogger site, but not this time! I got it redirected to www.humorwood.com, but I cant get it to also re-direct when writing only http://humorwood.com. I have another domain, where I just added http under CNAME (Alias), but it doesn't seem to work with this other domain.
    I have added http and www to redirect to ghs.google.com, but only the one works. Does any of you know what I might be doing wrong here? Any help will be very appreciated. Thank you for your attention:)

    Best regards Maria

    did you use the fully qualified domain including www? Seems to be a standard issue with Blogger.

    In general I would suggest you to go with a self hosted blog as you are more flexible and in that case also the hoster will be able to help you with the configurations

    Hi,

    I bought exactly the same package as I did with my other domain, that works, so it is a bit of a mystery to me. I might try and contact GoDaddy with this. Thx very much for your help :D

    Best regards
