How to Setup a Blog to a Sub-domain

1) Log in to the control panel for your registrar. In this case, GoDaddy.com. Go to the domain for which you are going to have a blog.



2) Now go to Total DNS Control to modify the CNAMEs.


3) Add a new CNAME for your Domain. In this case, the CNAME “scott” will be added to Beckworth.org. The “Points to Host Name” is set to ghs.google.com.




4) Now go to Blogger and setup an Account. If you have a gmail account, then setting up an account is easy. Once you do that click on a link to Create a New Blog.




5) Choose a template:




6) Blog creation confirmation screen:




7) Click on the Start Posting Link. Then in the new screen, click the Settings and then Publishing Links.




8) Above you see current publishing settings. Now click the Custom Domain link.




9) In the above, see how I have typed scott.beckworth.org as the domain? Press Save Settings. Now you will get a confirmation screen. That’s it!




10) Now I will go to scott.beckworth.org:




11) Under “Permissions” back at Blogger, I will add Scott as an Admin. I will have to wait for him to reply before I can make him the admin.



In the meantime, I will attempt to make this word document a post on his blog!
