I blogged here a couple of days ago that I’ve started a blog for the book I’m writing. I chose the name ‘Now We Are Different’ and added it to the list of blogs I’m running at Wordpress.com.

These are not the blogs that I host myself, just those scrap-booky ones where I throw stuff for temporary projects or things that just have no budget attached to them whatsoever.

But I wasn’t delighted at having the overly long domain http://nowwearedifferent.wordpress.com - which is what you end up with when you have a free account.

But there’s a new thing: domain mapping.

For the about £5 (the cost of the domain again) you can set up domain mapping on a Wordpress.com blog (once you have that name registered of course). So now, without the usual expense of getting hosting sorted out, I can have http://nowwearedifferent.com. And I do.

Quite pleased with that. Now I just need a decent banner - and some content.
