Mapping your domain is an important part of sites.grinnell.edu; it reinforces the idea that you don’t necessarily need to host all your own applications. You should, however, be mindful of making your web presences part of a domain you control. If you would like to map a subdomain and have not yet created it, use\u00a0this tutorial on creating subdomains<\/a>\u00a0before proceeding. To map your domain, or a subdomain, to Blogger, use these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in and navigate to your cPanel. Click the\u00a0Search box<\/strong>\u00a0at the top, right-hand corner and type \u201cDNS<\/abbr>\u201d (without the quotes).<\/li>\n

  3. Find the domain (or subdomain) you want to map to Blogger in the list and click Manage<\/strong>.\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \n
    Create a new\u00a0CNAME<\/strong> record by clicking Add Record<\/strong>. To save, click Add Record.\"Screenshot<\/a>Keep this window open; you will need it in later steps.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  5. \n

  6. \n

  7. \n
    On the \u201cBasic Settings\u201d page, find the Publishing section, and click the\u00a0Setup a 3rd party\u00a0URL<\/abbr>\u00a0for your blog<\/strong>\u00a0link.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

  9. \n
    You will be presented with a message that your domain cannot be verified, along with information about your existing\u00a0DNS<\/abbr>\u00a0entry, and an additional\u00a0DNS<\/abbr>\u00a0entry that needs to be made. This is normal. Copy the second entry under the\u00a0Name, Label, or Host entry<\/strong>\u00a0to your clipboard.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
