Master of my (new) domain: babblingboomer.com

OK, it goes like this. Blogger is free, but if you want to make things easy on your readers, you buy a domain name. You don't need a website, you can buy a domain and POINT IT to your blog (or web store on eBay or Etsy or whatever); or you can buy a domain from Blogger, which SEEMED like the easiest path to take.

Well, that path led to a cliff.

DO NOT buy a domain name from Blogger.


Damned if blogger didn't change their URLs and they left it up to their VICTIMS to try to figure out how to reattach. Which includes finding out who THEY buy THEIR domains from. They made it nearly impossible to figure out.

OK, I'm letting them hold my old domain hostage - I bought a new one. I don't like the name that much either, but it sort of sums up what this blog is. A whole lot of boomer babbling. It sounds silly and sometimes I am.


Here's the thing, then, if you have a blog and you want to attach a domain, do it the easy way. Go to Godaddy, purchase a clever or catchy but mostly memorable domain name for about $10 for a year and POINT IT TO YOUR BLOG.


It's very easy.


And if your blog host changes domains, you just go back to Godaddy and change your "forward."

It's the cheapest way to be master of your domain.
