    If you have a problem entering your CNAME of Blogger.com in the Godaddy domain DNS record as shown in the below image then here are the few things that you can try to resolve the issue.

  1. In the DNS records table look for the record which has Type = CNAME, Name = www, and Value = @ and then delete it. After deleting try entering the CNAME of blogger.com
  2. If the 1st step did not resolve your issue then look for another record which has Type = A,  Name = @, Value = Parked, and then delete it. Usually, you don't need this record for an active domain.
  3. If both 1st and the 2nd step did not resolve the issue then create four A records with Google IPs as shown in the below image
