The smiley face you see above, is how I felt when I looked at my browser yesterday afternoon and finally saw my own domain name.

I stood up like I was at a Pentecostal revival and shouted……HALLELUJAH!

However, it didn’t come without aggravation and a certain amount of tenacity.

I love how Blogger tells you that setting up a custom domain through them is as easy as…1-2-3.

It’s more like….1-2-3.…and then spending the next TWO HOURS trying to figure out why your new domain name is not showing up; eventually discovering that it’s because they left out some very important information concerning the setup.

Easy? Yeah. About as easy as having a testicle examination with cold hands.

I’m so glad I had done a lot of online research before I took the plunge because it truly helped. Not only did I research the positive experiences other people had with changing over to a custom domain, but also the negative. And it was through the negative experiences I read about, which helped me find a solution to the problem I had. In fact, the same thing that happened to me happened to many other people when they set up their domain name through Blogger, so I was somewhat familiar with the issue. Therefore, I would like to give a HUGE thank you to all those bloggers out there who helped me find a solution through their own custom domain experiences via the Blogger forum.

I would also like to thank the people over at Go Daddy, who patiently guided me through the darkness in getting things properly set up. Blogger uses Go Daddy as one of their domain sellers, but I did not purchase the name directly from them. So, I think it was awesome they took the time to help me with a problem which had nothing to do concerning their end. Honestly, it was some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced.

THANK YOU, GO DADDY!

I won’t use this post to try and explain what happened when I set up my domain name because it’s too long and technical. However, I will tell you that it had to do with the Google apps feature which Blogger includes with a custom domain. My biggest complaint is that Blogger needs to be WAY more thorough in explaining how to set up a domain name through them.

But I will say, that once the setup was fixed and completed, the actual domain name transference was immediate. I realize it will take some time for the full transition to occur, however I googled some of my archive posts and when I clicked on my old URL, it redirected me to my new address.

My old blogspot.com address is still working, but I would like to suggest to anyone who may have my blog in their browsers, to change the URL because eventually that old domain will be finito.

And as far as my blog feed goes, if you’re using Google Reader it will/should continue to update my posts as usual. It should also do the same thing if you’re using my Feedburner feed, because Google owns them.

If any of you ladies and gents experience issues with my new domain, or have problems with my feed updating, please don’t hesitate to contact me through email. I would really appreciate it.

Also, if any of you have tips or advice on something I should do that I may have forgotten about, please let me know in your comments. Thank you so much for your help and support during these recent changes on Vent.

Anyhoo….after four and a half years, I FINALLY have my own domain name.






P.S. You’ll notice that when you click on the comment link, I finally discovered a way to widen the comment box. Hope you enjoy it!

  2. Good morning!
    Since I've never had a testicle examination, I'll have to take your word on all that. ;)

    CONGRATULATIONS and HALLELUJAH on your new domain name! I will make a note of the new link.
    I don't know that I'll ever get one myself, but if I do I'll certainly know who to ask. Go Ron, Go Ron!
    And it was nice to hear that there is still some good customer service to be had when needed.

    ENJOY your new domain.... hey, does it come with air-conditioning?? OMG, you'll need it the beginning of this week.
    No? It doesn't? Okay then, well, open your window .... I'll throw ice cubes over.

  3. WHOOPEE! Well congratulations, dear boy, you finally got what you wanted. Apart from changing the name and the comment box everything else looks the same. Or am I missing something? I will substitute the old URL for the new one just in case I miss anything in the future. Can't have that, can we? I mean, life would be very dull without your blog popping up to cheer my humdrum days. This is the start of a good week, enjoy!

    ...Well, does it feel like 'yours' now? Does it feel different? I dunno why but I would think so. Sometime in the future as my site grows I would like to do the same but this will be in the f-u-t-u-r-e, like far off future. We're talkin' Jetsons here honey...*giggle* :o)

    ...This is awesome! I am so stinkin' proud of you - you go boy! ;o)

    ...Btw, love the 'hallelujah cat' too! So fitting! *giggle*

    "Since I've never had a testicle examination, I'll have to take your word on all that. ;)"

    Bwhahahahahahahahahahhaha! Trust me...it ain't fun :(

    Thank you. I finally did it yesterday after MUCH searching for a domain name that would be easy to remember and close to what I had before. .com was already taken, so I chose .net.

    If you ever do decide to get your own domain, let me know...I'll try and help you.

    Go Daddy was wonderful. The two people I spoke to were so patient and did everything they could to figure it out for me. I honestly couldn't have done it without them. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DADDY GOOOOOOOOOO!

    "ENJOY your new domain.... hey, does it come with air-conditioning?? OMG, you'll need it the beginning of this week.

  13. Good Morning Valerie~

    Thank you, dear lady!

    "Apart from changing the name and the comment box everything else looks the same. Or am I missing something?"

    No, nothing will really change except it will take some time for all my posts to be tranfered over to the new domain. The only thing that has changed which may affect my readers, is changing my URL from the old one to this one. However, the old URL will continue to redirect for sometime. Also, I had to update a few blog directories I'm listed with, and a few other things. But, other than that....it's the same as usual. Actually, once the new domain was finally set up properly, the switch over has been going very well.

    *crossing my fingers*

    Thank you!

    Great to hear that it went well in your feed reader. Yahooooooooooooo!

    I did look into self-hosting with the provider you recommended and they were GREAT. I decided to change over my domain name first, and then later if I should decide to self-host on WP, the name will come with me. I read that if you already have a long standing blog, it's better to get the domain name first before switching. I may switch over in the future. We'll see.

    Thank you so much.

    Having your domain name simply means you own it. It's just another step in branding your blog. I've been wanting to do this for the longest time, so I decided to do it while I have some time off from work because I knew it would take a lot of focus. I'm so glad I did it!

    Thank you so much for stopping by, m'dear! Have a great week!

    Yeah, it does kinda feel a little different. But in a good way. I love having this blog, so having my own domain name now has made me love and appreciate it even more.

    Bwhahahahahahahahahahahaha! OMG...that made me giggle BIG TIME because I LOVE the Jetsons! I always considered myself more of a Flintstone because I feel waaaaaay behind in the technology world. OMG.....I only got DSL internet service a little over a year ago, can you believe it? Up until that point I was using DIAL UP!!

    You're absolutely correct! Over the past 4 1/2 years I've have several things be a challenge with computers, the internet, customizing. But, hey....it's how we learn, right?

    Honestly though, I've learned more about blogging, customizing, etc,. from them NOT explaining things well, and then learning it on my own. In so many ways Blogger is easier, yet in other ways it's waaaaaaaaay more difficult.

    I am so proud of you for doing that on your own. I think... no, I KNOW I'm not patient enough to go through all that trouble. I'd have probably gotten aggravated and thrown the whole dang computer out the window!

  28. Hey Peg~

    Thank you.

    Isn't the kitty pic adorable? Meow!

    Well, I don't know if widening the comment box will deter issues trying to leave comments (because that has more to do with Blogger), but it should make typing a comment easier. I hate those tiny little comment boxes that normally come with Blogger, so I figured a way to widen it.

    "I think... no, I KNOW I'm not patient enough to go through all that trouble. I'd have probably gotten aggravated and thrown the whole dang computer out the window!"

    I'm not patience either. Trust me....I was getting ready to throw the whole computer out the window myself. I finally had to take a walk and removed myself after my domain went through.

    Whew!

  29. YAY RON!!
    OK-had a slight problem connected with not being signed in yet and that took time for blogger/google to figure out that we are on the same team with you (i think that is what held it up-had to try twice but here's the comment and that is the point, right?;)
    Wow, i cannot even imagine the hassle of getting this one done!!!! i see you are a 'net' so you must have hit a snag with a 'com'? anyway, i shall dutifully change it on my blog and anywhere else i may have you down as a blogspot. :) one of these days i shall do the same thing but am in no hurry to further upset my hormonal system-collapsed adrenals. if ever.........

    the blog looks lovely and i like the aqua, it is very calming... if you are using more color, have you seen december.com? have no idea why they call it that but it's a great site...

    congrats, dear friend, it looks faaaaaabulous. xoxoxox

    No, I don't think that had anything to do with changing my domain name because that happens to me a lot. If I don't previously log into my blogger account before leaving a comment, it will often do the same thing to me. That's why I try to always log in first.

    Yes, .com was already taken. I thought of using triloquistblog dot com at first, but then realized it would be so much easier for everyone to remember triloquist dot net. Someone else owns .com, however they're not using, it's just parked.

    Thank you. I'm so happy to hear you like my new blog template. I'm really happy with it. It's got more color than my other one, but not too much. And I'm glad you see it as aqua (me too), others are seeing it as only a green. I think it more of a combo, like a teal. However, I do love the color green.

    Always so wonderful to read your comments, dear lady. Thank you for stopping by! Have a fab week!

  52. congratulations, hallelujah and amen! seriously, good job Ron. Very impressive and decisive undertaking. As soon as I read this (yes I know I'm 4 days late) I revised the link address for your blog over at my place. I'm not yet motivated to follow suit, but I did spend 15 seconds today reviewing some of the premium features of wordpress and found that for about 20 or 30 dollars per year, I can get an ad-free blog. I didn't know they put ads on my blog. WTF?

    You don't have ads on your blog and I heart that <3
    Hope you're having a good week and I'll be dropping in again shortly since it's almost Friday.

    I'm sooooooooooooo happy that I did this. But I was afraid, I have to admit it. I was so scared that my new domain wouldn't pick up all my past posts. But it did. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

    Thank you for changing my link on your blog. This URL will work for some time, but eventually it will fade.

    Yes, WP has a TON of different options. And you can also purchase your domain name from them, I think it's like $17.00 a year. Which isn't bad at all. And yes, WP does sometimes put ads on your blog. I've seen them on certain WP bloggers blogs. That's what I like about Blogger. No ads, but if you do decide to use them, you can. Blogger has a lot technical issues, but for me, I still enjoy the freedom I have here. And one day they may FINALLY fix this lousy commenting system - HA!

    Thanks ooodle for stopping by, my friend. You made my week!

    X to you and Cristybella!

  54. congratulation for the new domain! i totally feel your excitement. n you reminded me of how happy i was back then when i first get my domain as well. right now all i did with my domain was just looking through some other companies that offer its renewal n find the cheapest one to switch to. i'm just stingy eh, hah! with blogspot address gone, does it mean the next step you are going to take is to buy a hosting space to store n manage your blog through it?

    " i totally feel your excitement. n you reminded me of how happy i was back then when i first get my domain as well."

    Isn't it a GREAT feeling? I should have done it a long time ago.

    "well. right now all i did with my domain was just looking through some other companies that offer its renewal n find the cheapest one to switch to. i'm just stingy eh, hah!"

    No, I don't think you're stingy at all, because I'm the same way! I don't know what you're paying now, but Blogger offers $10.00 a year, which I felt was very reasonable.

    " does it mean the next step you are going to take is to buy a hosting space to store n manage your blog through it?"

    I'm looking into it, yes. However, I may do it later. I wanted to purchase my domain name first, because if and when I decide to move, it will be much easier for the search engines to redirect my blog to the new hosting.

    Thanks for stopping by, my friend. Have a great day!
