Blog Domains 102 - Domain Redirect
February 10, 2008
If you’re a Wordpress blogger, commenting on Blogspot blogs could be a tedious job because you always need to key-in your name and URL each time you’d like to post a response. I found it tiresome too but I don’t want my comments to be link-less so I had to do some work arounds. Below is the step-by-step process that I did and probably what you should do.
Domain 102 – Domain Redirect
102.1 Definition of terms
1. Domain/URL Redirection – a process of forwarding a domain or sub-domain to another URL. For example, if you would set your sub-domain blogspot.kotsengkuba.com to be redirected to www.kotsengkuba.com, entering the sub-domain on your web browser will take you automatically to www.kotsengkuba.com.
2. DNS Settings – are the changeable settings in your domain’s control panel where you could change the nameservers, create CNAMES, re-direct domains, etc.
102.2 Procedures
1. Create an e-Blogger account at www.blogger.com.
2. Register a blog and name it with the same blog title as your Wordpress blog.
3. Create and publish a test post.
Now set aside your newly published blog at this point for later brewing.
Blog Domains 101 - Domain Basics
February 3, 2008
I’m supposed to create another blog focusing on techno craps and digital tutorials but the current cold weather is always shooing me to go to bed and slack of under the mattresses. However, there’s an urgent issue that I so wanted to discuss which I believe, could not wait for the next spring season.
Days ago, a blogging friend guised under code name BURAOT ask me about domains and all things related to it. He has finally decided to take blogging to a higher level by joining the domaining cyber-minions. As you know BURAOT, who happened to be our Hopia of the Month for February, is currently running atleast 4 blogs through the mercy of free Blogger and Wordpress accounts. However, our friend here is deciding whether he would acquire for each of his four blogs a separate domain or register a single domain and create subdomains for the remaining others.
The feeling-internet-mogul-and-cyber-consultant me responded in a different manner but what you will be reading below is a smarter but simpler way of explaining the techies in the not-so-techies way.
