Step 1: First of all at initial stage, you need to create blog on .blogspot base sub domain. I guess you are very much aware how to create blogger blog right?, If no than kindly drop your comment below.
Step 2: So now you are ready with another blogger base blog. Now Navigate Blogger Dashboard > Select Newly Created Blog > Setting. Under Publishing section, Click on Set up a third-party URL for your blog.
Step 3: Now under “Third-party domain settings” Enter your sub domain URL and click on save button. keep in mind that you have to enter your sub-domain without http://
Step 4: Surprised !, you will find error message that “We have not been able to verify your authority to this domain. Error 12.” Now we have setting instruction.
You will find two records in a table format, Save it as we need it in your domain’s setting.
Step 5: Login into your Domain Provider’s Dashboard.
Step 6: As different domain providers having different interface, So you have to find DNS zone by your self. Once you find it, Than you just need to insert one CName for your Sub Domain.
(Do me a favor: If you find where is your DNS zone located in your domain provider’s dashboard then drop a navigation so our visitor will be able to find it easily. Don’t forget to mention the name of your domain service provider )
Suppose you want to create
- blog.yourdomain.com as sub domain than your Name/Host/Lable will be blog
- service.yourdomain.com as sub domain than your Name/Host/Lable will be service
In Point to / Destination / Target field you need to insert ghs.google.com
Name/Host/Cname | Point To / Destination / Target |
blog | ghs.google.com |
service | ghs.google.com |
Note: Don’t forget to add second record which you have saved in step 4.
Step 6: Save changes you have made in your DNS Zone. It may take long time to update. Note: If Name already exist in DNS zone you want be able to add same name again. For that you have to delete the existing duplicate name.
Step 7: Keep in mind that due to error message, we want be able to save your sub domain. So after DNS Zone gets updated, Kindly go to your blogger setting again and click on save button.

Hi and thanks a lot for your post,
What can I do if I don’t get the error message? I have a blogger with a custom domain I purchased on godaddy. Now I want to create a new sub-domain with a new blog I created. But when I enter the address (for example “blog.domain.com” I don’t get the error message so I can’t add the second record because I already have it. So if I only add the first record: ” blog” pointing to “ghs.google.com”, godaddy gives me an error message.
Any advice?
Thx a lot
