Mapping your domain is an important part of domains.skidmore.edu; it reinforces the idea that you don’t necessary 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. \n
    To get started you’ll need to login to your control panel by going to the domains.skidmore.edu\u00a0homepage and logging in.\u00a0\"dashboard.001\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    Here you’ll login with you Skidmore username\u00a0and password.\u00a0\"sign<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    Once logged in you’ll be at the homepage of your control panel. The easiest way to navigate the panel is using the search feature in the top right panel. Click the\u00a0Search box<\/strong>\u00a0and type \u201cDNS<\/abbr>\u201d (without the quotes). Click on\u00a0Advanced\u00a0Zone Editor<\/strong>\u00a0and you will automatically be directed to the DNS Advanced Zone\u00a0Editor\u00a0page. Or, you can scroll down\u00a0and click on the\u00a0DNS Advanced Zone Editor<\/strong>\u00a0button on the cPanel.\"DNS.001\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \n
    Find the domain, or subdomain, you want to map to Blogger in the list of\u00a0Zone File Records<\/strong>. Under the\u00a0Action<\/strong>\u00a0column, click\u00a0Edit<\/strong>.\u00a0\"\"<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  5. \n
    Leave the Name, and TTL fields set to their defaults. Update the\u00a0Type<\/strong>\u00a0drop-down menu to\u00a0CNAME<\/strong>, and the\u00a0Address<\/strong>\u00a0field to\u00a0ghs.google.com<\/strong>. Click\u00a0Edit Record<\/strong>\u00a0when you are done. Keep this window open; you will need it in later steps.\u00a0\"\"<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  6. \n
    In a new window, go to the Blogger website, and login with your Blogger\/Google username and password.\u00a0\"blogger<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  7. \n
    From your Blogger Dashboard, find the blog you’d like to use, expand the\u00a0More Options<\/strong>\u00a0menu, and click\u00a0Settings<\/strong>.\u00a0\"blogger<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  8. \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.\u00a0\"blogger<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  9. \n
    Under\u00a0Advanced Settings<\/strong>, type the full subdomain or domain you are mapping into the box, leave the\u00a0Use missing files host?<\/strong>\u00a0option set to\u00a0No<\/strong>, then click\u00a0Save<\/strong>.\u00a0\"blogger<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  10. \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.\u00a0\"blogger<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  11. \n
    Go back to the window or tab containing the\u00a0Advanced\u00a0DNS<\/abbr>\u00a0Zone Editor<\/strong>\u00a0in your create.ou.edu cPanel. In the\u00a0Add a Record<\/strong>\u00a0section, paste the text you just copied into the\u00a0Name<\/strong>\u00a0field. This information will be different for each domain. Set the\u00a0TTL<\/strong>\u00a0field to 14400, and the\u00a0Type<\/strong>\u00a0drop-down menu to\u00a0CNAME<\/strong>.\u00a0\"\"<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  12. \n
    Go back to the window or tab containing the Blogger Advanced settings panel, and copy the second entry under the\u00a0Destination, Target, or Points to<\/strong>\u00a0column to your clipboard.\u00a0\"blogger<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  13. \n
    Go back to the window or tab containing the\u00a0Advanced\u00a0DNS<\/abbr>\u00a0Zone Editor<\/strong>\u00a0in your create.ou.edu cPanel. In the\u00a0Zone File Records<\/strong>\u00a0section, find the domain you were editing\u00a0Action<\/strong>\u00a0for and paste the text you just copied into the\u00a0CNAME<\/strong>\u00a0field. This information will be different for each domain. Click\u00a0Edit record\u00a0<\/strong>when you are done.\u00a0\"\"<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  14. \n
    Return to the window or tab containing the Blogger Advanced settings panel, and click\u00a0Save<\/strong>.\"blogger<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  15. \n
    If everything was successful, your domain will now appear as the\u00a0Blog Address<\/strong>. Keep in mind that it may take up to 72 hours for your domain or subdomain to correctly point all visitors to the correct location.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
