How to Export My Blogger Blog to My Domain
Blogger is a Web log application you can use through Blogger's hosted dashboard or install on your own server. When using the free, hosted version, you do not have to use a subdomain address on the Blogspot domain. Blogger lets you make changes through your domain registrar -- the company that sold you the domain name, such as GoDaddy or Register.com -- and then switch your blog address to that domain. Visitors to your domain will get redirected to the free blog and will not ever see your Blogspot address.
