How do I connect Blogspot to my Google Apps?

I want to connect my Blogspot account to my Google Apps domain. I have told Blogger to use blog.mydomain.com yet my browser tells me this didn't work. Because of the popularity of the words "blog", "google", and "apps", googling the solution does nothing. So I figured I'd ask the experts. Any thoughts?

How to cross-post in Blogger?

I have two blogs and I would like to cross post some thing from one blog to other. For example if you visit this page http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/get-whole-family-together-over-holidays.html, At the bottom of the post, it says "(Cross-posted on the Gmail Blog)".

Are there some ways I can cross post without duplicating the content?

How can I use both Disqus and Google+ comments on Blogger?

I have a blog with Blogger. I used Disqus before and there are a lot of comments on that. However now I want to use Google+ comments on Blogger because I use Google+ a lot. But I cannot find a solution to use both on Blogger at the same time.

I found other solutions to use both Blogger default comments and Google+ comments but not Disqus. How can I do that?

How to post source code in Blogger?

I noticed that when I post source code in a Blogger post, the code wraps to the next line if it's too long. I use the pre tag to post the code and I used different styles (overflow: auto; white-space: pre), still the code wraps in all browsers except in FireFox.

Is there a way to post source code without having the code wraps?

How can I make blogger insert

tags instead of
when using rich text editor?

I don't like how when I'm using the rich text editor in Blogger and I press Enter it inserts a <br > instead of a <p>. Is there any way to get the behavior to change? Or at least is there any way to insert a <p> without switching to the HTML tab?

I'm using Blogger in draft, by the way. I tried both the old editor and the new one; and using Press "Enter" for line breaks instead of Use <br /> tags doesn't help.

I also tried disabling Convert Line breaks, which is described as :

If Yes is selected, single hard-returns entered in the Post Editor will be replaced with single <br /> tags in your blog, and two hard-returns will be replaced with two tags (<br /><br />).

Excessive number of +1's on Blog posts

On my blog posts on blogger, I have an inordinate amount of +1's (Like 10,117!). As seen here:

enter image description here

This seems exceedingly odd as this is a private blog that only approved users can read. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to stop it?

Sitemap and static pages on blogger

So blogger now has static pages and this is all very nice. Unfortunately, these pages don't appear in the sitemap generated at atom.xml or rss.xml and there is no way to publish a file on blogger within the same domain name.

How can the static pages get listed in a blogger sitemap?
