Domain Mapping, CNAME, MX Records, GoDaddy, Blogger –oh my!

by Marissa on 22 May 2008

I mapped a domain today and configured email for that domain. I feel brilliant! It is a new step in Geekdom for me. I’m so proud.

I did not, however, accomplish this feat by myself. I had help from a slew of forum posts, Help entries, web articles, guesses of my own, and dumb luck. (See my Resources & References post.)

I am attempting to streamline the process for anyone else who might attempt it, by creating the following HOW-TOs. These how-to entries work for domains purchased through GoDaddy.com (using GoDaddy as the registrar), hosted on blogger/blogspot, email through Google Apps, and then using Thunderbird as an email app. If you’re using other applications and registrars and hosts, then YMMV (your mileage may vary).
