In the bit to take this blog to another level I decided I would move this blog from the free *BlogSpot URL: edundayo.blogspot.com to a Custom Domain. I've been planning to do this for quite some time now, but my fear is having to have something go nut which could make this blog inaccessible to readers, for some period I would not like.
The good new is that I have already registered a domain: netmarketingideaz.com from NairaHost, but the bad one is that I confirmed my fear "that the process might make this blog inaccessible for some period I would not like" when I did a test switch from edundayo.blogspot.com to netmarketingideaz.com last weekend. Everything from blogger side was ok but there was issues from the Domain registrar side (in this case NairaHost).
The bottom line is, the domain was not opening this blog and therefore I had to quickly switch back to the *BlogSpot Address. I have actually contacted the Domain Registrar and waiting to hear from them.
So, please be aware that anytime from now your dear blog: Internet Marketing Ideas will be moving to it's own custom domain: netmarketingideaz.com. Mind you, the old *BlogSpot address: edundayo.blogspot.com will still be redirecting to this blog.
Likewise, apologies if you are not able to access this blog for at any time, it's for the good of the blog and I'm sure it will thereafter have a great impact on your experiences with using this Blog.
Lastly, I need some feedbacks from you, as regards other things you feel is needed to be put in place to improve this blog to your satisfaction "after all, this blog will be useless without YOU!". So, please drop a comment and let me know. Your feedback is highly appreciated no matter how few it is.
Cheers!

Hi there, 1st time here - lovely blog.
There shouldn't be a problem changing from your blogspot address to a custom domain name. The problem should be coming from your domain registrar, I also changed from http://nairablog.blogspot.com to http://nairablog.com and there has been no problem since.
On your blog,
1. I have reservations concerning your ebook (blogging made easy) don't you think the price is high, I don not think it'll contain what John Chow and Yaro Starak are giving for free. I'm not saying you should give for free, but reduce the price for intending buyers.
2. Did you decide not to make show your blog post dates? and
3. The idea of having to place my mouse around what I think should be your blog post topic before viewing the topic is not down with me.
These are just personal views.
Good luck

First of all, thanks for your honest comment.
For the domain; I sure know it's from the registrar and if you read the full post, you'll see I stated that and even the registrar in question.
1. Your reservations is highly noted, I believe you are speaking for many others sharing the same opinion as yours, I can review the price no doubt. Nevertheless, I'm a bit disappointed with your comparison; going ahead to compare Nigerian Internet Community with that of the US, John and Yaro can afford to do that now, with their current status they can afford to give anything away to those of their loyal clients that have made them who they are, no big thing about that is there? And you don't even have to judge the ebook(blogging made easy) from by cover, asking somebody that have read the ebook would have been better, I know you have a very important point but it's better to be practical about it.
2. No, default configuration of the template I'm using and I never really considered it a big deal, probably because none of readers ever complain about it, anyway look out for a fix on that.
3. I guess that might be from your side; maybe your link or your browser. I have had this blog reviewed by other bloggers and even some of my readers, but I never received any complain to that effect. I check the updated outlook of the blog quite often and I think the only time I see something close to that was when I access the blog from a proxy firewalled connection that was really slow.
Above all, thanks once again for your honest comment and by the way you got a nice blog, I particularly love the animated tag cloud, BloggerBuster's trademark no doubt.
