Whether you have created your website using the blogger interface on blogspot OR registered your domain through GoDaddy.com this step is a must for businesses who require an admin e-mail address and attach users to the new domain to unlock the full potential of the new Website.
The easiest way to do this is to use Google Webmaster Tools which you can access through your main account dashboard you will need a gmail (UK) OR googlemail (USA) account to do this
Google Account and Webmaster LinksCreate new Google Accounthttps://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount
Google Account Loginhttps://www.google.com/accounts/Login
Webmaster Panelhttps://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home
When you are in the webmaster tools you can then enter the full website address that you have already purchased either through blogger.com OR godaddy.com into the box provided, note if you used the blogger route all the DNS settings will be done for you.
After you add the site you will need to verify ownership there are three ways to do this if you hold your website template on Dreamweaver and two ways if you have used wordpress OR blogger.
- Upload an HTML file ( you can't to this with blogger powered sites)
- Add a MetaTag to the template
- Add a DNS TXT record
I will show you how to do this with your blogger template that has been transferred to a custom domain purchased through blogger, note this will not give you FTP access if you require this then you must register you domain name separately @ either godaddy.com OR another Domian registration service like 123-reg.com
Copy and paste the required code shown above in the place indicated in the screendump below when you have saved if and viewed you can then click verify if all works OK with the save you will have added the google apps to your domain
You can also do this using a DNS TXT record which you need to add to your DNS control panel
