i ran into quite a bit of disinformation concerning how to set up your blogger blog so that it resides at blogspot.com, but is accessed from a subdomain off of your personal domain; in my case, blog.ozzis.us.
first, most of the information supplied by blogger.com is for hosting your blog at the root of your personal domain, but this was not good for me.
it turns out that setting up the above subdomain scenario is a simple, two step process.
1. go to your host provider, in my case godaddy.com, and create four DNS A records:
blog.yourdomain.com 216.239.32.21
blog.yourdomain.com 216.239.34.21
blog.yourdomain.com 216.239.36.21
blog.yourdomain.com 216.239.38.21
2. on blogger.com, go to settings -> publishing and choose to publish on a custom domain. click advanced settings and provide your blog URL, such as blog.yourdomain.com. do NOT check the Redirect ... checkbox.
you can check the status of your DNS setting via an online tool such as kloth.net. after a few hours for the dns servers to update and you should then be able to access your blog via your own personal subdomain!
