confirmed. Everyone who tries to view it gets the same network timeout error.
I've tried absolutely everything - from reestablishing the publishing settings
to creating a new blog and trying to set it up with the domain - to no avail.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Please email me at joshlinden@... if
there is the slightest possibility you might be of any help. Thanks!

The problem is that your CNAME entry has been deleted somewhere.

When you sign up for a custom domain, you need to add a CNAME record at your
Domain Registrar.
You should have added something like cname = ghs1.google.com. (Note the .
(period) at the end).
I would also verify with the settings at Blogger if it is ghs1 or just ghs

At the moment, when I do a query for your domain, it is trying to point me to IP
address: 209.85.171.121

What should happen is that your DNS provider forwards all requests for
OnlyAtIA.com to Google's name server ghs1.google.com which then loads up your
blog.
(This assumes that you didn't purchase your domain direct via Google).

But, that is if you are only using the custom domain option and NOT your own
custom domain on your own web server (and publishing via FTP). Since you didn't
mention FTP, I'm assuming you are doing a straight forward "Custom Domain"

You appear to be with Rapidsite, but to edit the CNAME records, you must login
to the control panel that manages your Domain Name (records).


How do I use a custom domain name on my blog?
