How To Setup/Host Custom Domain On Blogger
Published Under :

Domain
Blogger has already introduced custom domain name. If you purchase a domain name through Blogger, there’s no issue in setting it up because Blogger automatically configures CNAME. However if you purchased the domain name separately, you have to manually configure it. This post I’m going to show you how to host your own domain name on Blogger.
Mainly you have to follow 4 major steps, they are:
Mainly you have to follow 4 major steps, they are:
- Adding custom domain on Blogger
- Getting your domain ownership verification token
- Change DNS (Domain Name System) settings
- Verifying Domain name ownership on Blogger
Step 1: Adding custom domain on Blogger
- Go to http://www.blogger.com/.
- Now if you already have a blog, select which blog should use the new custom domain name.
- Go to your selected blog's “Settings > Basic”.
- Under the “Publishing”, click “Add custom domain”.
- Now in the “Advanced settings” type your new domain name URL.
- Click “Save” button. Then Blogger should display this error: “We have not been able to verify your authority to this domain. Error 12. Please follow the settings instructions.”
- Click “settings instructions”. If you click this link before that error (above), you can’t configure CNAME correctly.
Step 2: Getting your domain ownership verification token
- Now you will be redirected to the “How do I use a custom domain name for my blog?” page.
- On this page, tick the “On a top-level domain (www.example.com).” option.
- Once you’ve chosen an option, setup instructions appear. At the beginning of the instructions you should see something similar to the screenshot below. Pay attention to the two codes highlighted in the screenshot. Those are your domain ownership token. In my example the codes are “J6VKJNRFUXD3" and “gv-JWLTPCFOOA27RPMP3PPRPPW4KZUGVEMMZK365WBH4UHOPYEFUBMA.domainverify.googlehosted.com.”. Your token will be different.
Step 3: Change DNS settings
- Go to your domain name registrar’s “DNS console” panel and log-in.
- Navigate to the “Host Records” click edit.
- Add a CNAME (Canonical Name) record.
- For Host Name/Name/Label or Host” field, enter “www” without quotes and
- For Address/Destination/Target or Points To field, enter “ghs.google.com” without the quotes.
- Now add another CNAME record. This is for domain ownership verification.
- In the Host Name field, paste the first code you get in step 2.3, ex: "J6VKJNRFUXD3".
- In the Destination field, paste the second code, ex: “gv-JWLTPCFOOA27RPMP3PPRPPW4KZUGVEMMZK365WBH4UHOPYEFUBMA.domainverify.googlehosted.com.”.
- Now we should add A (Address) records. If you already have A records, modify them. If not, click “Add” button.
- You have to add 4 separate A records, pointing to the following Google IP addresses:
- 216.239.32.21
- 216.239.34.21
- 216.239.36.21
- 216.239.38.21
- Enter each IP into an “Address” field. In the corresponding “Host Name” field, enter your domain’s naked URL (without “www”, e.g example.com).
- Finally click “Save” button and wait for a few minutes to update all your domain settings.
Step 4: Update your Blogger settings
- Now go back to “Settings > Basic > Publishing” on Blogger and again enter your custom domain name with “www”.
- Tick “redirect” option.
- Finally click “Save” button. If it again displays “Unable to verify authority…” error, wait for a few hours to update your DNS settings and again add your domain name. This time no need to follow Host Records modifications, just add domain name to Blogger publishing section.
- That’s it, now your blog has a custom domain name.

Borders in Blogger Template

Borders in Blogger,
Borders in Blogger Template,
CSS
In Blogger default templates (like Minima), you can see that all kinds of borders are present. Borders around header, borders between posts and sidebar gadgets....In the control menu, Fonts and colors, we are allowed just to change the color of the border. But there's so much more to it....
First, let's check the styles for the borders that we can use:
HOW TO CHANGE MY BORDER?
To make any kind of changes, you have to go to:
DASHBOARD ► LAYOUT ► EDIT HTML, and find the code that corresponds to the borders:
...use CTRL + F (Apple Key+F) to locate the line easily...
We can change:
- the width 1px into 2px, 3px, 4px....
- border style solid, into some other style. Like, dotted, or dashed.....
- change the color, inserting the part in green, below the existing part (in white):
border: 1px solid $bordercolor;
border-color: ff7700;...with this, we gain control of border color, so Blogger "$bordercolor" is no longer in charge...
..to change the color into the one you want, change the hex value (hex color library here)..
There's also one cool style that I don't see so often in Blogger Designs, and that is using borders for a specific part of the "box". You can change right, left, upper and bottom border. And they can all be in different styles!
I want to add a frame / box / borders around my sidebar section. And, I want left one to be red, right one blue, bottom one green and top one yellow. Here's how:
First, let's check the styles for the borders that we can use:
- none: no border at all
- dotted: series of dots.
- dashed: series of short line segments.
- solid: single line segment.
- Double: two solid lines.
- Groove: 'carved' into the canvas.
- ridge: like it is coming out of the canvas.
- inset: like it is embedded in the canvas.
- outset: like it is coming out of the canvas.
HOW TO CHANGE MY BORDER?
To make any kind of changes, you have to go to:
DASHBOARD ► LAYOUT ► EDIT HTML, and find the code that corresponds to the borders:
border:1px solid $bordercolor;
...your code (CSS style) may be a bit different, (this is example for Minima default template), but it will always start with "border:"...use CTRL + F (Apple Key+F) to locate the line easily...

#sidebar-wrapper {

border-right: 3px solid #0000FF;
border-bottom: 3px solid #00FF00;
border-top: 3px solid #FFFF00;
padding-left:7px;
width: 220px;
float: $endSide;
...I added some padding-left so that the text is not to close to the border...
...change the width, colors, styles...
...and that's it. I know it looks silly, but you'll experiment, and get a beautiful results....
And if you are up to some more customization, check this article about placing your custom picture as a divider.

Ok. Luckily, removing this is quite easy. I hope you know what is it...the Atom thing. It's an easy way for your readers to subscribe to your Blog posts. It's really the same thing like you can see in 90% of blogs, but under the name of RSS (Really Simple Sindication).

Customize Quotes in Blogger

Quotes in Blogger
We're going to learn how to customize the quotes in Blogger. By customize, I mean changing the looks of it, giving it some color, borders, background.....changing size of it, font, style...
WHAT ARE QUOTES?
Quotes are used for quoting. Heh. Quoting defines:
► repeating or copying the words of another, usually with acknowledgment of the source
► citing or referring for illustration or proof
► repeating a brief passage or excerpt
DEFAULT QUOTES IN BLOGGER AND HOW TO USE THEM
Default quotes ain't much of a fun. Really. They are rather dull. And blank.
When you're composing the Post, and want to make a quotation, you will:
► highlight the part of the text that will be a quote
► and click on the quote button in the Blogger toolbar
This will change highlighted part into a quote, with a default design, and that is:
It just added some margins to it....not fun at all. I told you so.
SO, WHAT CAN WE DO?
Well, a lot! First, let's see what part of the code (CSS style) we have to play with....
.post blockquote {
margin:1em 20px;
}
.post blockquote p {
margin:.75em 0;
}
...that's the one! You can find it easily going to LAYOUT ► EDIT HTML ► and scroll until you find it (use CTRL + F to make it easier)...margin:1em 20px;
}
.post blockquote p {
margin:.75em 0;
}
...yours may be a bit different (if you have customized template), but it will be something like that...
I'll show you a few examples, and in each one, you will have to DELETE the code from above, and REPLACE it with the one from example.
◄ Borders, font styles and colors ►
Example 1.
.post blockquote {
border-top: 1px solid #FF82AB;
border-left: 1px solid #FF82AB;
border-right: 2px solid #FF82AB;
border-bottom: 2px solid #FF82AB;
background: #ffffff;
margin: 6px 20px 6px 20px;
padding: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
font-size: 1em;
font-style:italic;
line-height:1.4em;
}
Example 2.
.post blockquote {
border:1px dashed #DC143C;
background: #EEE0E5;
margin: 6px 10px 6px 10px;
padding: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
font-size: 1em;
font-style:italic;
line-height:1.4em;
}
Example 3.
.post blockquote {
color:#EE9A00;
border:5px dotted #000000;
background: #ffffff;
margin: 6px 6px 6px 6px;
padding: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
font-size: 1em;
line-height:1.4em;
}
Example 4.
.post blockquote {
color:#00CED1;
border-top: 2px solid #000000;
border-left: 2px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
background: #ffffff;
margin: 6px 0px 6px 0px;
padding: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
font-size: 1em;
line-height:1.4em;
}
...these are just examples, so you can see what variables you can adjust....
...change the colors (hex values)...change border styles...
...font size, font style (italic), font color (color)...
...margins (the space between box and the post content)...
...padding (space between quote text and the borders)...
◄ Picture in the quotes ►
Example 1.
.post blockquote {
color:#666666;
background: #ffffff url(http://i39.tinypic.com/154iuq9.jpg);
background-position:top left;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
margin: 6px 6px 6px 6px;
padding: 8px 0px 8px 74px;

margin: 0 20px;

background-position:top center;
margin: 6px 6px 6px 6px;
padding: 8px 36px 8px 40px;
font-size: 14px;
line-height:1.4em;

color:#000000;

margin: 6px 6px 6px 6px;
padding: 8px 6px 8px 6px;
