It looks like you’re trying to set up a custom domain as your handle on Bluesky! Here’s how to do it, tailored to your blog post:

How to Set Your Domain as Your Bluesky Handle

1. Acquire your domain:

2. Find your Bluesky DID:

   • In the Bluesky app, go to Profile > Settings > Advanced > Change my handle.
   • Select “I have my own domain” to reveal your unique did= string. Copy this.

3. Add a TXT record to your domain’s DNS settings:

   • Log in to your domain registrar (e.g., Namecheap)
   • Find the DNS management settings for your domain (often under “Advanced DNS”).
   • Add a new TXT record with these details:
     • Host: _atproto
     • Type: TXT
     • Value: Paste your did= string here.
     • TTL: Leave this as “Automatic”.

4. Verify on Bluesky:

   • Return to Bluesky’s “Change my handle” screen and tap “Verify”.
   • Bluesky will check your DNS records. This might take a few minutes.
   • Once verified, your Bluesky handle will be your custom domain!

Important Notes

• DNS Propagation: It can take some time for DNS changes to fully propagate across the internet. If verification fails initially, wait a bit and try again.
• Alternative Domain Providers: The steps for adding a TXT record will vary slightly depending on your domain provider. Refer to their documentation for specific instructions.
• Subdomains: If you want to set up subdomains (like @emily.yourdomain.com), you can follow the advanced instructions in your blog post for using the .well-known route.
