Nosignalinput.co.uk Has Arrived!

It's a momentous occasion here at No Signal Input as I've finally done the inevitable and registered my own domain name.

The domain in question, nosignalinput.co.uk (.com was taken), currently forwards itself to nosignalinput.blogspot.com. So, if you hit nosignalinput.co.uk or www.nosignalinput.co.uk into your browser then you'll end up at this blog. Instead of getting your URL address bar showing nosignalinput.blogspot.com it'll show nosignalinput.co.uk.

For the moment I'm having a bit of trouble re-directing my blogspot address to the .co.uk one because of DNS settings (which are a tad bit confusing to say the least) so if you go straight to the blogspot.com address (as all the incoming links here will) it'll still show up as blogspot.com. The reason for this is that it takes up to 48 hours for any DNS settings to take effect and changing the address in the blogger settings right now just re-directs my blog to a blank page (although the page source on the blank page does show the meta tag details I entered at the domain registration site so it should, in effect, be working properly soon) . Of course I don't want my blog down for 48 hours so I'm going to wait until the DNS settings are working properly.

If it doesn't work after the 48 hours then I'm really at a loss at what to do next. Are any of you out there using custom domain settings for a 123-reg.co.uk registered domain? Did you have any trouble? It's been a bit frustrating and confusing so far and having to wait 48 hours every time I change something makes it more so.

Remember you WON'T have to change any of your links here because, when it's sorted, the old blogspot address will just re-direct to the new .co.uk address.
