Important note:
  • I know that you will definitely try to see your blog right away by viewing it. But, you will only see an error page. Do not worry, the records will take some time to effect. The DNS records will propagate shortly. You just need to wait about 15 to 30 minutes and you can view your new domain working properly inside a BlogSpot blog.
