This document provides a guide to setting up a custom domain name with Blogger. It is a multi-step process that involves first registering a domain name, then modifying the domain's DNS settings to point to Blogger's servers. Specific instructions are given on logging into the domain registrar account and editing the DNS records. Once the domain is configured, the final steps require logging into Blogger and linking the blog to the custom domain name. Following these steps will allow users to access their blog with a personalized domain name instead of the default Blogger subdomain.
