Google-hosted blogging

Although the URL for this blog is blog.ndrix.com, it's not actually hosted on the ndrix.com virtual server. It's actually hosted by Google on blogger.com.

Hosting a blog like this is pretty easy. Blogger provides instructions for doing blog hosting. The trickiest part is establishing the CNAME records for your new domain. The DNS hosting company that I use (zoneedit.com) provides a simple web interface for creating CNAME records:

1. Click on Aliases (CNAME) in the top menu
2. Enter blog.yourdomain.com in the Alias box
3. Enter ghs.google.com in the Actual Name box
4. Click Add New Alias
