How do I get a cert on a blog hosted on blogger

I have a custom domain named blog on blogger that needs an ssl cert.  Please help me to get a let's encrypt cert on the site.  The site can be seen at thenatureinus.com

Go to the Basic Settings section of your Blogger site and turn on HTTPS:

You will also need to set up DNS records pointing from your domain to blogger:

I made the change as you can see but when I try to save it I get this error:

Also, I am signed in as the admin with the correct username.
From your domain registration, it looks like Network Solutions is your domain registrar.
I would suggest that you give them a call. Their tech team should be able to assist you with getting the authorization issue resolved.
I am registered with godaddy and the error is on the blogger side.  I show no problems with godaddy, that I can see.
I would call GoDaddy ... they have decent tech support.
While the error is on the blogger side, the message is saying that GoDaddy is not giving its authorization for what you want to do.
I called GoDaddy and they said because the site isn't hosted with them they can't help me.
Paul, using draft.blogger steps I get the same error.

Tip: Follow the instructions in the error.

For fastest + most correct information, open a Blogger Support Forum thread.

Blogger can be a bear for cert setup. Usually best to have Blogger assist with this.
