New Features: Domain Mapping
Monday, September 1st, 2008It hasn’t been officially released until now, but we have enabled domain mapping for all blogs right now for free! If you have a domain registered and want it tied to your blog, please feel free to follow the directions on the “Domain Mapping” page in your administration!
Domain mapping is the ability to take your favorite name and map it to your blog. For instance, in my example here, I have registered the domain http://trentadams.com and want it for my end blog URL. My blog is http://trent.onvertigo.com. I followed the directions in the admin and changed the DNS for my domain name to this server. Then I added the domain in the simple procedure in the admin and voila! All requests now hit http://trentadams.com
Best bet would be to try it out! As I mentioned before, this is currently a free service and we encourage people to use it! It is easier to have your blog mapped to a domain in case you ever decide to move your blog or just want to make sure that you have a constant name for google to find you! Have fun!
