1. Create a domain: lauragibbs.net
2. I created a temporary redirect that will send people going to lauragibbs.net to this blog, since I will be keeping a chronicle here (for now anyway) of my Domain adventures. I'll use Domains as the label for these posts.
3. Just for fun, I set up a subdomain, brevissima.lauragibbs.net, which points to the blog for my Brevissima book. It works!
Meanwhile, I need to think of some WordPress project to do over there... I think maybe I will try to write up something descriptive/pedagogical about my classes, a kind of meta-commentary on all my course sites and pages. Just a thought...
And the next Blogger blog I set up, I will map to this lauragibbs.net domain and learn how that works so that I can document that process for my students.
Anyway, I am excited about this, and I really appreciate the invite, Adam! :-)
Woohoo! Glad you are up and running. I know its a busy season but play time will come soon enough! If you do want to use Wordpress, what I do sometimes is go ahead and install the Wordpress app and then install a plugin called underConstruction https://wordpress.org/plugins/underconstruction/ which will allow me to redirect to another site while I'm doing another build out. There's also a feature in the cPanel that will allow you to "clone" an app install. So for install, you could be build on "dev.lauragibbs.net" and then clone it over to your main domain when you feel ready very easily. Have fun!
