Google already provides us a tutorial on how we can add a domain in blogger blog. But it doesn't specifically demonstrate the steps for creating two areas - 1. Primary Domain 2. Subdomain to your two blogger blogs i. e. you will have two websites one about main domain as well as the other about subdomain for example http: //www.bloggerwp.com and also http://demo.allbloggertricks.com. Below are usually 3 easy ways with pictures on how one can add some sort of subdomain in your blogs existing domain without any difficulty.Step 1 : Add a A Name Record
Go to your domains registrar website and click on Change DNS/DNS Manager option. There you would find different CNAME and A records you have made previously for your main blog. Add another A name record with the the desired subdomain as your host. For example if you want subdomain http://demo.bloggerwp.com/ for your blog then enter demo in the host name. In the IP/Point to section add this IP - 216.239.32.21 After adding save the record.
Step 2 : Setup the domain in Blogger
Now go to Blog Title → Settings → Basic → Blog Address → Add a Custom Domain → Switch to Advance Settings and add your full subdomain in our case it would be demo.bloggerwp.com. Make sure the box saying "Redirect bloggerwp.com to demo.bloggerwp.com" is unchecked else when someone goes to bloggerwp.com (with no www ) they will be redirected to http://demo.bloggerwp.com/

Step 3 : Settings in the main Blog (Required in some cases)
Even after unchecking the box above, if the domain http://bloggerwp.com (without www) redirects you to http://demo.bloggerwp.com Go to Main Blog Title → Settings → Basic → Blog Address → Edit and check the box which states "Redirect bloggerwp.com to www.bloggerwp.com" Thats it, the whole setup is done. Sometimes if takes 1-2 hours for making the changes by the domain registrar but most of the time change is withing 5 minutes. Your custom subdomain is ready.
