The custom domain:
In case you have a domain for your blog or recently bought one, please go to Settings > Blog > Domain Configuration and click on ‘Got your own domain?’ and enter your domain name and click update. You will have to add a CNAME shown below the text box, in your DNS provider (that’s the place where you have bought your domain name from). This will take up to 72 hours to reflect, as soon as it is done a mail will be sent to you.
So, you can get right on to writing down your recipes. Your food blog is waiting.
