Congrats, that’s a catchy domain name you got there.
I noticed it’s setup with a redirect, have you considered blogspot’s CNAME feature? It lets you host your blogspot blog at a custom domain like yours without redirecting to a subdomain.
The benefit is if you ever switch where the content/blog is hosted, any links/bookmarks to your site can still work.
They have a guide for various registrars (see below), but there’s likely a guide for whichever vendor you are using.

Thanks. It took some effort to come up with it.
have you considered blogspot’s CNAME feature?
No, I am not planning on using blogspot's CNAME feature. It breaks when you type in yourdomainname.com. You have to include the www for it to work. This is a bug that causes problems.
I would rather it just be a redirect for now. That serves my stated purpose in buying a domain name. Given the budget for this project ($0) and my own finances (dicey, at best), I don't anticipate changing to paid hosting. Besides, I am quite fond of blogspot.
I don’t currently use blogspot so I don’t know about that bug, or if they support multiple CNAME records.
It’s not obvious but, using the same mechanism that allowed you redirect to blogspot will allow you to redirect the bare “@“ record (pocketputer.com) to www.pocketputer.com
Since the last time I fussed with this, they fixed some of the issues that were problematic with custom domain names. One of those that I had forgotten was a security issue. So I do now have this set up as the actual domain name for the site and I think it all works without any weird security issues or bugs that I know of.
