What you should be doing is called "A" / "CNAME" referral.

debhalasz.com.        14400    IN    A    216.239.38.21
www.debhalasz.com.    14400    IN    CNAME    ghs.google.com.

Get rid of the extra "A" record, and wait for 4 hours (14400 seconds).

Publish the blog back to BlogSpot, then re publish it to "www.debhalasz.com".  And recheck the redirect option.
