custom domain in your blogger account. Her I’m using EasyDNS for setup your
domain provider, others hosting sites setup process is almost same. So, be
easy.
Setting Up your Blogger Account

Within the error message you should see two sets of CNAME records. This is the information that Google uses to verify that you are indeed the owner of the domain name. You will need to take these two records and put of them into your DNS settings. Note: Do not close your blog while you are doing this.

Finalizing the Game with Blogger Account
Once you’ve put in the CNAME records within your DNS
settings, you will need to go back to the blog window with the error message that
should still be opened. Now do the following things:

You will notice the error message has gone away. If this is the case then your domain name should be successfully connected to your blog, but you still have a few more steps to complete it. If you are still seeing the error message then google has failed to verify that you are the domain owner. At this point you have a few options. Google has a multiple ways to verify that you are the genuine domain OWNER. At this point you have a few options- Google has multiple ways to verify domain ownership. You can also choose to trouble shoot yourself through Google’s help documents.
- Now go back to the publishing section of your blogger account and click on Edit.
