Again Go to Blogger Custom Domain Setup Option
After your settings have been activated, you need to make sure Blogger knows about your custom domain so that Google can direct readers to your blog. Just head back to Blogger and update the information on your Settings | Basic tab. Find the area for "Publishing," and click the link to add a custom domain (+Setup a 3rd party URL for your blog.).
That’s it! Your blogspot.com address will soon redirect to your new custom domain -- be patient, as it might take up to 24 hours for the redirect to start working. If you're still seeing an error after 24 hours, it means your settings weren't entered correctly and you should try the process a second time.
If Previous Step fails, be patient and retry later. It can take up to 48h for DNS settings to propagate.
Enable the "Redirect ..." checkbox and press Save. This is to allow "naked domain" redirect i.e. when users type your domain name without the www at the beginning.
( eg. Redirect exmple.com to www.example.com.)

"View blog" button at the top of Blogger UI, it should all work fine and your blog should now be enabled with a custom domain.
