Moving your blogger to your own website via GoDaddy

New URL from "guestnumberone.com" is now my own name "alexqha.com".

I thought I would throw this bit of information into the blogosphere about customizing your domain on www.godaddy.com.

Go into your Total DNS Control through GoDaddy Domain Manager.

I will use my URL as the example. All TTL can be set to 1/2 or 1 (it's really up to you).
Enter your URL without the quote marks.

1. You will want to delete the string 68.178.232.100 from A (Host).
     - If you don't have this in your A(Host), no worries! You want it gone anyway.

2. In order for you to use "www.alexqha.com" and "alexqha.com" Do the following.
     A - Add New A Record.
     B - Host Name "alexqha.com"
     C - Points To IP Address: 216.239.34.21
          - repeat A-C. Three more times for the following IP strings.
          - 216.239.32.21
          - 216.239.36.21
          - 216.239.38.21

3. This next step is in CNAMES(Aliases).
     - Click on the paper and pencil icon for "www" to edit this string.
     - Keep the Alias as "www".
     - Points To Host Name as "ghs.google.com".

** If you do not have "www" string**
     - Add New CNAME Record.
     - In Alias Name add "www".
     - Points To Host Name as "ghs.google.com".

4. This next step is in CNAMES(Aliases).
     - Click Add New CNAME Record.
     - In Alias Name add "www.alexqha.com"
     - Points to Host Name add "ghs.google.com"

5. Go into your Blogger, Setting, Publishing.
     - In the box type in "www.alexqha.com".
     - Check the box "Redirects "alexqha.com" to "www.alexqha.com".
     - Enter the random letter in the word verification box.
     - Save.

6. You should be golden.

Yours should look something like this



Good Luck! If this set of instructions some how renders your website useless...it's seriously not my fault! It worked for me and I am just repeating my experience. I will not hold any responsibility for what this will do.

Leave a comment if it worked for you!!
Much Love

A to Z's Wedding

When Zach told me he was getting engaged he also said that he wanted me to shoot his wedding and of course it was flattering and I was a bit hesitant. Shooting weddings are serious but shooting your friend of 6+ years is something else!

I thought about for a while and eventually said yes after much debate. I never got a chance to meet Andy till the wedding, but what I can say about her from the few hours I spend with her and Zach is that she is totally loving and cares for Zach so

I am totally happy for Zach. My friend is married, I can't believe it, He texted me a day ago about his new TV he bought for the house. They are starting to get settled in and start a home! I am excited for the both of them. Without much more jabbering, here are some photos of the wedding.
