Well, not only is UMW Blogs sporting a fancy redesign, but it also has some pretty impressive features to start the new year. One that I find pretty amazing is that everyone who has a blog at UMW Blogs has the option to associate it with their own domain.
What does this mean? Well, in short, if you were to purchase a domain name for $8.00 from an authorized Domain Registrar (see the list below), something like iruletheschool.com, and you wanted your UMW Blog at iruletheschool.umwblogs.org to have its own unique domain without the umwblogs.org, it can be done quite easily by mapping the domain you bought onto your UMW Blog.
Here’s how:
- Purchase your domain from a domain name registrar, go here for a list of the top providers
- Once you have purchased your domain name point your name servers to ns1.castironcoding.com and ns2.castironcoding.com (if you need an IP address our is 67.228.90.196)
- After that, go to your blog and go to the Manage–>Domain Mapping tab and add your new domain
- Finally, use the Contact form to let us know you added a new domain so that we can make sure everything works for you.
Enjoy!
