    Warning:
    If you enable the orange cloud (proxy), Blogger might not connect properly. Keep it as DNS only.

  5. Save the Record, click Save or Add Record. Your subdomain DNS record is now active.
  6. Add Subdomain to Blogger
    1. Go to your Blogger dashboard.
    2. Navigate to Settings > Custom domain.
    3. Enter your subdomain (example: store.stackydesign.com).
    4. Save and verify.

    Info:
    Sometimes, DNS changes take up to 24 hours to work. Be patient.

Test Your Subdomain, open your browser and type your subdomain URL. If it loads your Blogger site, you are done!
