    no matter what i do i can not make them work together. I know the first thing everyone will tell me is go google it but i have for over 2 and 1/2 hours. followed every guide to a T and yet i get the same result. A 404 error. If you can, please help me figure this out

    i kept getting this problem with WP and godaddy. with your domain name on godaddy, you should have the nameservers, pointing toward the blogs servers, but do not forward the url, as this creates more problems i found. with the blog host, i dont use blogger, but when you signed up with blogger, did you say you wanted to use your own domain name, or a subdomain supplied by them. is there anywhere in the admin panel, where you can change the name of the blog to your own domain. also i know this may seem daft, but when you type your url, are you spelling it correctly, i did this once, and kept getting a 404 message, my kid came into the computer room one day, and pointed out i was spelling the url wrong, boy did i feel stupid lol.
