What is a blog?

• A blog is a type of website. It can be your personal website , it can be created on any topic.
• Many companies offer their free services for you to create a blog.
• We will choose google’s service to create a blog , which is BLOGGER.com
• At blogger you can have a blog with a name like ….. yourname.blogspot.com

Looking for a Dot Com name???

• Now just suppose that you do not like this type of domain name. and you want to make it like professional looking domain name. for example , http://nameyoulike.com
• Now for this you need to spend approx. 11 dollars per year for your special domain name.

How to register a domain name?

• Registering a domain name is very easy.
• All you need to have a credit card or a debit visa card which can be used over internet.
• Searh the domain name you want
• And pay for that domain name.

Changes you need to make on your blogspot account:

• How do I use a custom domain name on my blog?
• Note: The setup process for newly-purchased domains may take up to 24 hours.
•Publishing on Blog*Spot is the fastest and easiest way to use all of Blogger's great features. (And for free, no less!) If you don't care to have blogspot.com in your blog's address, though, you can get a domain of your own. We'll continue to host all your content as before, but it will be displayed at your new address. (Unlike FTP publishing, which requires you to buy both a domain name and a hosting
service.)
• Choose and Register Your Domain
• The first thing you'll need to do is to choose a domain name, like example.com and register it. You can register domain names from any of a number of different registrars, and you can use .com, .org, .net or any other valid addresses. Remember: you only need to get the domain name; you don't have to pay extra for hosting service.

Update the DNS Settings

• DNS stands for Domain Name System, and a DNS server determines what site a given address takes you to. So far, you have a domain name but none of the servers on the internet know what to do with it yet. To take care of this, you need to do two things:
• Create a CNAME record for your blog's address, which should be a subdomain of the form www.example.com.
• To create a CNAME record for your domain with the DNS, associating your domain with: ghs.google.com.
• Create 'A' NAME records for your naked domain (blog.com)
• Note: The following information applies to naked domains only!! If you're setting up a subdomain then this does NOT apply to you! :-)
• Creating A records for your naked domain is important as it allows Google to redirect people who use in your naked domain name (blog.com) to your blog page (www.example.com). If you do not do this, visitors who leave off the www will see an error page.
• There are four separate A records you will create, and can be done from the same control panel you accessed your CNAME records. Simply point your naked domain (example.com, without the 'www') to each of the following IP addresses:
• 216.239.32.21
• 216.239.34.21
• 216.239.36.21
• 216.239.38.21
• Your DNS setup is now complete!
