They’d liked the demo version, now to do it ‘properly’: advice needed
-
Hi
Late last year I set up a blog – http://theverbalist.wordpress.com – as a demonstration of blogging for a local company: it’s run from an account linked to one of my personal email addresses.
They’ve now decided they’d like to go ahead with the blog idea on an on-going basis with my help. Now being rusty on WordPress all over again (!), I’m hoping people can help with a few questions:
1. They want to map a subdomain of their existing domain to their blog. They can set up subdomains of the main domain with no problem (their hosting company has a control panel facility), but do they point to the wordpress blog home page address, or is there an IP address they will need?
2. Blog title and domains: the second version won’t be called ‘theverbalist’, although a title is yet to be decided. Given the domain mapping, will whatever account is set up at WordPress matter – will people be able to see that the ‘nnn’ in the(nnn.wordpress.com) address doesn’t match whatever nnnnnn.askeurope.com becomes? (It’ll be linked from their main website, but also promoted separately.)
3. Given that the current version is linked to a personal account and I’d like to retain a ‘development version’ (so I can try anything new more privately first), I will want to create a second blog using a company email account. I know I can import posts, pages, comments, categories, tags and so on (and CSS style sheet, if I pay the $15 over again), but what’s the easiest way to do this: set up a second user profile, make my second identify co-owner of the existing blog and sole owner of the new one, and then import away).
4. What order do I need to do these things in, and have I overlooked anything important – particularly anything that might be chargeable?
