Step-10: In the left-hand menu, click on "Settings" and then choose "Basic."

Click on Setting choose Basic.



Step-11: Under the "Publishing" section, click on the "Set up a third-party URL for your blog" link.

Step-13: You'll receive an error message with two CNAME records that you need to add in your GoDaddy DNS settings. One record will be for the naked domain (yourdomain.com), and the other for the www subdomain (www.yourdomain.com).

That's it! The DNS changes may take some time to propagate, but once they do, your Blogger blog will be connected to your GoDaddy domain.

Remember, it's important to note that Blogger doesn't support naked domains (e.g., yourdomain.com) directly, so setting up the redirect ensures that visitors are automatically redirected to the www subdomain when they enter the naked domain.
