To point a custom domain to your Blogspot blog, you need to log in to your domain registrar's DNS management panel. You will typically add two CNAME records: one for the 'www' subdomain (e.g., `www.yourdomain.com` pointing to `ghs.google.com`) and another unique CNAME record provided by Blogspot for domain ownership verification (e.g., `abcde.yourdomain.com` pointing to `gv-xxxxxx.dv.googlehosted.com`). Additionally, for the root domain (e.g., `yourdomain.com`), it's recommended to add four A records pointing to Google's specific IP addresses: `216.239.32.21`, `216.239.34.21`, `216.239.36.21`, and `216.239.38.21`.
