Google Apps Linkages to Blogger
Just a message to bloggers out there who faced a similar interruptions of Blog not being visible after hosting it in your domain, the only solution given by GoDaddy to me was forwarding your blogspot to your domain, here's a brief rundown for you-
To setup domain name forwarding you must first log into your account:
1. Go to http://www.google.com/a/yourowndomain.com
2. Now you will need to login to your Google account utilizing a username and password you previously created specifically for Google Apps for your domain. If you do not know this information, click 'Can't access your account.'
3. Once logged in, click the 'Domain Settings' tab.
4. Click the Domain Names link.
5. Click on Advanced DNS Settings.
6. You will now see listed your Go Daddy Google Sign-In Name, Password, and PIN.
7. Click the link Sign-in to DNS Console and use the Sign-in Name and Password as your login credentials
8. You will now be able to manage your domain name.
If you are not using GoDaddy nameservers, you will need to modify the nameservers to their forwarding nameservers. If you are currently using GoDaddy nameservers, skip this step. Here's how to modify your nameservers:
1. Check the box next to the domain name.
2. Select Set Nameservers from the Nameservers button in the gray menu above.
3. Select I want to forward my domains.
4. Click OK to save changes.
5. Allow 48 hours for the changes to take effect*
*Changes to the settings of a domain take a full 48 hours due to the number of networks involved; these networks are controlled by many different entities and update independently.
To Forward Your Domain Name
1. Check the box next to the domain name.
2. Select Forward Domain from the Forward button in the gray menu above.
3. Enter the full URL that you would like your domain to forward to. Example: (http://www.anotherdomain.com)
4. Click OK to save changes.
5. Allow 48 hours for the forwarding to take place.

2. Select Forward Domain from the Forward button in the gray menu above.

Before your domain will start to forward, you will need to update your domain's A record and "WWW" CNAME.

2. Under the DNS Manager, click Launch.
3. You will need only one A record.
4. Delete the extra records by clicking on the "X" to the right of the record (the ones that begin with 216)
5. Click on the remaining A record to edit.
6. In the Points to field, enter the IP address: 64.202.189.170
To Update the WWW CNAME
