Right, so DNS settings are set and this blog now shows up as www.nosignalinput.co.uk as .blogspot.com now re-directs to this address. This means any incoming links to the blog will still show up as blogspot.com (if you hover over the link) but will re-direct to the new address, meaning you don't have to change anything on your side.
There's one big problem though. If you type in www.nosignalinput.co.uk my website will load fine, but if you type in nosignalinput.co.uk the website won't load - at all. This is apparently a known problem by blogger (although they've still not given us a way to fix it) and is causing much frustration amongst people with custom domains and many posts on the Blogger Help Group.
Apparently there's a fix here but I'm not too confident about trying it and I don't want to screw up the DNS settings now I've got them sorted.
Everything is re-directing so I'm fine with that. I just have to hope that no-one types the URL in their address bar (like I'm that popular) and said person is lazy enough to miss the 'WWW' (Ok, I know we all do). If you do link to me remember to put the 'WWW' in first or just save yourself the hassle and link to nosignalinput.blogspot.com instead.
It's all a big barrel of fun!
