    1. First of all you have to register your domain. Then you have to create a subdomain in your domain settings account where you purchased the domain. After creating the subdomain, add it to your blogger blog. You can only link one domain in a blogger blog.

    3. Configure the blogger CNAME records first with your registrar. Blogger will keep giving this error if it doesn't find its CNAME in your domain name's account.
