So, on a whim, tonight I did something big!
Okay, not really that big, but... I bought a ".com" domain! That's right, for the next year, the lovely URL www.justjulieblog.com is all mine! I feel so legit.
Almost.
The problem is figuring out how to connect it to good old Blogger. I found these instructions that made it look super easy, and it was easy until I got to the "settings instructions" page. Mine looks different and started talking about locating the DNS setting and entering "CNAME" and "A-records."
Umm, that's where they lost me. Do any of you pro bloggers out there know what this means, and can explain it in terms that my non-computer science mind will understand?!
I also read that sometimes it takes an hour to become active. Combining that with how sleepy I am right now, I've decided to sleep on it (literally) and figure this out tomorrow. But if you can help me, I'd love you forever!
Hmm.. when I switched, I purchased the domain through the "Need a domain? Buy here." thing in the settings. :/ I'll see if I can find some instructions!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Congrats girl, what a fun step. Good luck figuring it out - I'm sure things will be clearer after some sleep. Your package is in the mail, by the way!
