How to Connect Cloudflare Domain to Blogger Without Errors

Want to connect Cloudflare domain to Blogger, but scared you'll break something? So was Riya. It was 1:12 at night when my phone buzzed. "Didi, my blog is gone. Just gone. It says This site can't be reached ." Riya is my college junior. She bakes the best chocolate walnut cake I've ever eaten, and that week she'd finally started a baking blog on Blogger. She'd also bought her first domain on Cloudflare, all excited, around 400 rupees. And now? A blank error page. And a very sad emoji. Funny thing is, I had connected my own domain, clarkopal.org, to Blogger that same morning. Same Cloudflare. Same Blogger. Same six records. Mine worked. Hers didn't. The reason turned out to be one tiny cloud icon. I'll tell you exactly which one, but first, let's do this properly, step by step, so it never happens to you.
