So Why Are Custom Domains Setup So Complicated?

Every week, at least one BHG forum thread, in which I provide advice about a custom domain setup, includes the question Why are custom domains so complicated?

Google Custom Domains - The Two Step Domain Referral

Google Custom Domains provide an elegantly simple, yet robust, ability for us to publish our blogs to a Google server, and still address them using a non-BlogSpot URL. By publishing our blogs to a Google server, we can enjoy the versatility of the dynamic HTML used in a Layouts template. By addressing our blogs using a non-BlogSpot URL, we can enjoy the personal identity of having our own domain. And with all of this, our BlogSpot addresses continue to work , letting people and processes like search engine spiders continue to find our blogs in BlogSpot. We enjoy having the group identity of BlogSpot, when convenient.
