Remapping my WordPress Domain to My Blogger Web Site Address
-
I bought a domain name through wordpress.com, but am now moving my blog to blogger.com. I need to remap the domain name to point to http://www.myblog.blogspot.com but am having difficulty. The instructions that I have from blogger say to locate my registrar’s DNS and change the ‘CNAMES’ to:

When I log into my WordPress Control Panel/DNS area, I only see space to change the ‘nameservers.’ I tried entering the CNAME information into the nameservers spaces, but I get an error that says ‘Nameserver not registered.”
How can I edit the DNS settings on my wordpress domain to point to my blogger blog?
Thank you!

Hi there,
I have just entered these settings for you.
Please make sure that you have your Blogger account configured:

When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world.
This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, you may also receive a warning message in your browser about “redirect errors”. Unfortunately, we have no control over this as it all depends on how often your internet service provider updates their records.
Please rest assured that everything is proceeding normally with your domain.
If you still have trouble viewing the site after 72 hours has passed, please try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies:
