Free web hosting using Blogger
I have just decided to try and market some music by the Swedish singer Lykke Li, so I bought a domain name www.lykkelimp3.com with the intention of just forwarding it to an Amazon Lykke Li MP3 download offer. But then it occoured to me that I had bought a domain name with GoDaddy, so I could set up a Blogger blog and then use that as my 'authority site'. Here's how:
- Buy a domain name using GoDaddy (they are about 10 bucks a year)
- Log in to your account at www.godaddy.com.
- Open the Domains tab and select My Domain Names. You'll be directed to the Domain Manager page.
- Click the domain that you'd like to use with your blog.
- Click the Total DNS Control And MX Records link at the bottom of the section entitled Total DNS.
- Click Add New CNAME Record in the box labelled CNAMES (aliases). If you've already created a CNAME record for your blog's address, click the pencil icon next to the existing CNAME record.
- For the Name, enter only the subdomain of the address you want to use for your blog. For example, if you picked
www.mydomain.comas your address, enterwwwhere. - Enter
ghs.google.comas the Host Name. Specify a TTL or use the default setting of 1 hour. - Click OK, and then click OK again.
I've just done this with Lykke Li MP3 so I'll let you know what happens
