    Hey! I am having a problem. I have just registered a blog which is http://www.textileclass.com and it is hosted on blogger. But I would like to make a sub-domain for it like http://www.blog.textileclass.com. But it is possible to make?
    Is there anybody who can help me out?

    you need to create a CNAME record in your domain control panel

    CNAME for blog pointing to ghs.google.com

    after doing this you can create a new blogger blog and switch it to http://blog.textileclass.com

    (Note:DNS changes may need little time to propogate.. so give it a lil time.. )

    Hello Aneesh,

    It's nice to be here after so many days. Just got busy in my studies.

    Anyways i need to ask u one question, in my google apps account in saw something like 'mapping' can u explain me that? what are its advantages and drawbacks?

    Even i have a same query like the above member. I read ur reply but could not understand. Can u elaborate and explain in simple words. I have heard that at the most we can make 3 sub-domains. Is it true?

    in google apps you can map the apps to your subdomains.
    for accessing the google apps mail at your domain mail.yourdomain.com you will have to create a cname for mail with the value ghs.google.com and TTL 1800 and make the necessary changes in your google apps account and you will see the google app mail at mail.yourdomain.com

    this tutorial is for NAME.COM and it does the Google APP setup automatically.. Still it might help..
