Step 3- It will prompt an error and also show you two CNAMEs. Each CNAMEs has two parts - one is "Name/Label/Host Name" and second is "Destination/Target/Points to".  First CNAME is same for every blogspot user but second CNAME is unique for every user as it is linked to your google account and blog. It is giving you an error because you have not linked your custom domain with google blogger hosting. Now you need to go to your Domain Provider and find DNS settings option. Under DNS settings add two CNAME given by blogspot.

Once you add these CNAMEs on your domain registrar or domain name provider, click save. Now it will save without any error. 

Step 4 - See above - If you want to open your website without www, this will not open until you will select above option (redirect domainname.com to www.domainanme.com).
