How I added a custom domain to Blogger (for free)

I will preface this post by saying that I am not a web expert by any means. Most of this is compiled from reading various tutorials/forum posts and trial & error. However, it may hopefully save you a bit of time if you are also trying to add a custom domain to your Blogger site.  The Domain Name The first step is to purchase your custom domain. Again, I haven't done a detailed investigation into the best places to purchase domain names from.

Move to Rescue 2024

In April 2024, I completed my goal of running a total of 200 km throughout the month to raise funds for Destiny Rescue. They are an Australian-based  organisation with a mission to rescue children from sexual exploitation and human trafficking and help them stay free. They have rescued over 14,000 trafficking victims to date and supported their re-integration into society. Most of their work is in the Asian region, but their efforts extend to Africa and Central America.  There are over 1 million children currently trapped in commercial sexual exploitation, so it has never been more important to do something about this issue.  If you would like to contribute to the cause, please check out my page at:  https://movetorescue.com.au/joel-johnson Please also check out the great work that Destiny Rescue is doing at  https://www.destinyrescue.org.au/ .  Thank you, Joel
