Trick to get your Google apps account to be able to use most Google products

I have switched all my person email to a Google Apps account.  I
wanted the email control and the customized domain.  Only problem
was that I couldn’t use most of the other Google products.  In
particular: blogger, picasa, and voice.

I searched for some time trying to figure out how to do this.
 Nothing useful was coming across my screen.  I accidentally
discovered how to do what I so desperately wanted Google to do when
I was trying to setup adsense.  

Here’s how you do it:

Create a new Google account.  Here is the link. 

https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount.
 

Use your Google Apps domain email address and follow
instructions.  Once complete / confirmed, you can use most of the
Google products.

Bonus tip:

If you want to transfer your Google voice account from your
Gmail.com account to your Google Apps domain, click this link.

You must complete the Google account setup first though.
