I just have to wait another 24 hours for it to propagate further to make sure. So stay tuned and I'll keep y'all posted.

But I would avoid using Google Apps right now. <a HREF="http://Blog Bloke.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-i-got-custom-domains-to-work-with.html" REL="nofollow">Too many problems</a>.

What is the deal with this? I was using wordpress.com before with domain mapping (I'm a beta tester), but I have become so frustrated with the limitations of wordpress.com, that I decided to give Blogger another chance.<br/><br/>You're right, the new Blogger <i>is</i> buggy, but I would expect this since it is new. Hopefully these issues will get worked out. God forbid I end up going <i>back</i> to wordpress.com. You know they make you pay for just about every feature that Blogger tends to offer for free (custom css, domain mapping, etc)?<br/><br/>We'll see what happens with this custom domain thing. I think it will be alright. Keep in mind that Google is huge, and it might take a minute or three to work out the bugs.<br/><br/>Lastly, one thought comes to mind: I wonder if Google will start providing domain names. Will this also be free? Perhaps with Google ads? Just a thought. So you have the problem with the www. prefix or not too? What is the deal with this?

They can continue beta testing at someone else's expense, not mine. Clearly they haven't got it right yet and I don't need the hassle...widget, widget...

Just per widget is the problem area. Well, keep in mind what I was talking about was only in one circumstance, the pageType doesn’t appear to work as an ‘attribute for a widget’.
