Blogger is now making it easier for people who purchase a domain, hosted by GoDaddy, and need your DNS setup to support custom domain publishing. Just go to the Blogger / GoDaddy "Update your DNS records" wizard, and provide your domain URL.
It's a very painless process.
If you can't setup your domain, by using "Buy a domain" - or if you need to reset your DNS addresses, for a GoDaddy hosted domain.
So, we see one more reason to purchase your domain from GoDaddy.

It's a very painless process.
- If you are not logged in to GoDaddy, you login using the right GoDaddy customer account - either one which you currently own, or your new account, setup by "Buy a domain".
- You use the Blogger / GoDaddy "Update your DNS records" wizard.
- You provide the URL of your domain, to the wizard.
- You're done.
If you can't setup your domain, by using "Buy a domain" - or if you need to reset your DNS addresses, for a GoDaddy hosted domain.
- You already have a GoDaddy hosted domain.
- Your GoDaddy hosted domain registration just expired.
- You just transferred your domain to GoDaddy.
- You purchased your domain using "Buy a domain", and you now need to reset the DNS addresses.
So, we see one more reason to purchase your domain from GoDaddy.

This question keeps running through my head - all my domains are registered at Godaddy, but not hosted. I'm looking for a new host and easy management of the blogspot to custom domain. Godaddy has terrible reviews as a host. Can I manage the DNS settings at Godaddy and host elsewhere?
Thanks Dan
What you do is host the DNS with GoDaddy, and host the content with Blogger / Google. That's called Custom Domain publishing, with a GoDaddy hosted domain.
You can use GoDaddy as a registrar only, if you wish. That's GoDaddy "Bring your own DNS". I won't comment on that.
Why not start a discussion in Blogger Help Forum: How Do I?, so we can discuss this in detail?
