Redirect is like reading Greek
-
I bought blnnews.com from you wanting to use WordPress. WordPress doesn’t do what I want so I went with blogger on google. I’ve tried EVERYTHING both sites say to redirect my blog and I get nothing. HELP!

Blogger doesn’t provide nameservers, so directing to them is a bit complicated.
Start with this guide: http://support.google.com/blogger/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts=1233381&page=ts.cs
To set the A record, please try these steps:
1. First, log into your Domain Manager by following the instruction of the “Domain Manager Login” section here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/2. Once you’re logged in, click on the domain name you want to edit.
3. Under Nameservers, click on “Set Nameservers”.
4. In the pop-up window, select “I have specific nameservers for my domains”.
5. Replace any name servers listed with the following:
NS01.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
NS02.DOMAINCONTROL.COM6. Click on OK to save, wait a few minutes for the settings to go through, and then refresh the page.
7. When the nameservers change, you’ll see some information under DNS Manager, and a link that says “Launch” – click that link to edit your DNS records.
8. The A record of your domain should be listed as the first record on the list. In the Actions columns on the left, click on the pencil/notepad icon to edit the record (make sure you click on the icon for the same line that the A record is on).
9. Finally, use the information provided to your by your new host to fill out the “Host Name” and “Points To IP Address”. The field labeled “TTL” should stay in the default “1 Hour” value. Click on OK to save the new record.
That’s it – your new A record should go live after a short delay.

I can’t even find the Dashboard to locate where you are talking about. I don’t have an account with WordPress anymore, just a domain name.

If Blogger offers nameservers, you can set them following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers

The guide is fine, but it doesn’t allow me to enter information. I need to know where to enter the information!

Well, the guide only tells you how to enter information.
As detailed in the guide, head to Store -> Domains in your blog’s Dashboard. There, you’ll select to point your domain elsewhere via the drop-down menu at the bottom.
