823935 2009-10-24 23:03:00 Ok I have been asked this question twice in as many months, and i think the answer is yes, but I am not sure of the specifics, and i cannot seem to find a clear & concise answer.

Let say i own a site eg www.grumpykiwi.com and I also have a blog that is hosted with blogger eg myblog.blogger.com, now i know that you can assign your own domain name to the blog, however in this case I only want to assign a subdomain to blogger
eg blog.grumpykiwi.com. can i do that and if so how

Any help would be appreciated

e.g. For domains4less, you would be able to specify the subdomain name through cPanel.

Bear in mind that it takes time for the DNS effect to travel to the whole world.

Cheers :)

823938 2009-10-25 01:22:00 I think you can also do it from the blogger controls, basically masks the blog.blogger address with whatever you specify...I THINK hueybot3000 (3646)
823939 2009-10-25 03:45:00 There are advanced settings with blogger setting for easily switching to a domain/sub domain.

But if you intend to connect/relate a blog to your main web site, there might be issues in terms of getting inbound links to rank your site in search engine results (if you want to rank your main site). This thread (www.webmasterworld.com) discusses the pros/cons of using a sub directory or a sub domain for a blog and a associated site.
