This first post will be on how simple it appears to be to setup my third party domain hosting site and this blogger account. I have added google's IPs and CNAME to my hosting list, so it should bounce over to blogger. Fingers are crossed!
I'll have updates to follow here or in the comments.
<update> Looks like it works pretty well, but clicking on the "no comments" link below does not work, will need to research internal inks.
