However, when I do this I get the error message "Another blog or Google Site is already using this address." I only have one blog and one domain. So, I have no idea what the problem is.

After another try, I think I've got the A-records and CNAMEs set up correctly. It's still not working and I still get an error message saying "Another blog or Google Site is already using this address," but I also read that the changes I made can take up to 24 hours to take effect. So, I'll try again tomorrow.Michael Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362529610470788243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-12504450119617154442012-12-22T00:18:56.127-05:002012-12-22T00:18:56.127-05:00I host a small blog on Blogger with a custom domai...I host a small blog on Blogger with a custom domain.<br />All I needed to do was to use my DNS provider's admin page (I use name.com) to setup a CNAME - blog.mydomain.com - pointing to ghs.google.com and then add the name under Publishing settings on Blogger.<br /><br />This was a while ago, but seems to be working just fine.<br /><br />let me know if I can help with anything/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13692259403489890253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-84378220682818360092012-12-21T20:02:51.880-05:002012-12-21T20:02:51.880-05:00@David: Thanks.

They ask me to find "launch", but the string "launch" is nowhere to be found on my GoDaddy account. <br /><br />The question of who is at fault is very subjective (and mostly pointless). I'll happily take all the blame if I could then fix this.Michael Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362529610470788243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-65127221597424772662012-12-21T18:57:06.526-05:002012-12-21T18:57:06.526-05:00This seems to be your fault, not Google's.

For example, http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/7921/adding-or-editing-cname-records might help. I do not have experience with Godaddy -- my sites are in DreamHost and BlueHost so far --, so I can not help too much there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00224793702348450630noreply@blogger.com
