Confused about Dreamhost, Blogger and DNS settings

So I'm putting together a blog for a friend and am totally confused.
His domain is registered through GoDaddy, with no hosting. The nameservers point to Dreamhost, where his site is hosted.
Originally I was going to do the blog with Wordpress, but found Blogger to be easier for him.
So now, I've set up a Blogger account set up as a "custom domain", which is the domain registered through GoDaddy. However, for this to work Blogger requires me to create a CNAME record for the domain with the DNS, pointing to ghs.google.com.
However, when going to the Dreamhost DNS setting for the domain I don't really understand what I'm supposed to do. I'm familiar with changing the nameservers of a domain where you simply replace the default with ones that direct to your hosting service, but this seems more complicated. What should I be doing here? Thanks!
