Setting your own domain for Blogspot Blog

If you have a blog at blogger and you want to have your own domain so that you can do away with the word 'blogspot' in the url of your blog.If you are buying the domain from blogger setting it to work with your blog at blogger is quite easy.Here the other case is described.

I have a blog http://digitaltyke.blogspot.com at blogger.I already have a domain i bought some months ago from dynadot.Domains bought from dynadot are not the best one to host your blog at blogger because they need a fixed ip to be entered for http://digitaltyke.com.This is compulsory.The following method is the workaround.



  1. Login to Dynadot.Reach control panel of your domain.
  2. Use Dynadot DNS
  3. Use DOS command prompt or linux terminal of your computer
  4. Type "ping gh.google.com"

  5. Find the ip address from the message - 64.233.179.121 as seen in the image
  6. From "Advanced DNS Dynadot Service",enter the above ip address in the "IP ADDRESS" field which is a required field (not optional).

  7. In the optional "CNAME Records" field,add a record "www.digitaltyke.com" and enter the value "ghs.google.com"

  8. Now click "Use Dynadot DNS" to update the DNS entry.
  9. It takes minimum 20 minutes for the entry to get functional and to be globally available.It is better to check the next day.Checking suddenly won't yield desired results anyway
  10. Log in to Blogger Dashboard and Select your blog's control panel.
  11. From the "Setting" tab , go to "Publishing" page.Then switch to "Custom Domain" and enter the domain you have like "http://www.digitaltyke.com"
  12. Tick the "Redirect digitaltyke.com to www.digitaltyke.com" option and click "save settings".

  13. The site should be ready the next day.
If there is anything wrong in the method,pls comment so that it may be useful for dynadot and blogger users.

Hiho,

I bought terramel.org from Dynadot yesterday. Since my main blog is hosted in Wordpress.com, I bought that redirecting stuff from wordpress.com that redirects terramel.wordpress.com users to terramel.org. So, when you go to terramel.org, it shows what is in terramel.wordpress.com. Now I want to add a subdomain in terramel.org and I want to call it opera, so what I want is to be forwarded to terramelopera.blogspot.com when I go to opera.terramel.com...

So I want it this way:
terramel.org ----> terramel.wordpress.com
opera.terramel.org ---> terramelopera.blogpost.com

Is there a way to do it??

Thanx for your attention :D

ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA’S VOTERS ID CARD DUPLICATE APPLICATION PROCESS

I lost my voter id card issued by the election commission of india. I lost it along with the driving license in 2007. I took Duplicate Driving Licence from the same RTO in 2008.Now I have been postponing the efforts to take duplication voters id card due to various reasons. One election came in between and election people were giving duplicates but I didn’t went. Now local body election happens in Kerala. So I got an information that the election department at the Tehsil (Taluk) office is starting to issue duplicate voter id cards from 08.10.2010.So I drove to mavelikkara  yesterterday  in my Astar and it was raining heavily. I reached there and find a long queue of people.Since I have completed the form before hand, I just need to find my card id number and put the data and place in it.A person employed there took my application form and he checked the number of my family member in the kiosk in the same room. The kiosk terminal didn’t showed my number. So he forwarded my application

Generate your online e-aadhaar card easily

Aadhaar Demystified   Aadhaar ,meaning foundation in indian languages, has become a hall of shame  or an object of inconvenience for the common man (aam aadmi). Despite a prominent personality like Mr. Nandan Nilekani at it's helm, India's aadhaar project is an epic fail. UIDAI or unique Identification Authority of India is a ghost body created by the central government.It is yet to get complete legal and constitutional status to discriminate people by providing gas subsidy {LPG subsidy for domestic use} only to aadhaar holders. Why India needed an ID System? India was in the dark about it's own citizen.Infiltration from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Srilanka happens all the time.Politicians provide illegal immigrants (a large chunk are run away criminals and terrorists) with indian election id cards inexhange of votes / money. Some crooks were eating up subsidies designed to reach deserving common man [aam aadmi] by forging fake documents and multiple accounts.
