MU Domain Mapping
This plugin allows users of a WordPress MU site or WordPress 3.0 network to map their blog/site to another domain. It requires manual installation as one file must be copied to wp-content/. When upgrading the plugin, remember to update domain_mapping.php and sunrise.php. Full instructions are on the Installation page and are quite easy to follow. Super administrators must configure the plugin in Super Admin->Domain Mapping. You may also define a CNAME on this page. Your users should go to Tools->Domain Mapping where they can add or delete domains. The login page will almost always redirect back to the blog's original domain for login to ensure the user is logged in on the original network as well as the domain mapped one. Super admins can now choose to either allow users to setup DNS ANAME records by supplying an IP (or list of IP addresses) or set a CNAME but not both (entering a CNAME for the end user voids the use of IP's) Things to remember:
Wordpress 3 network/multi-site
So has anyone put together a step-by-step on how to set up multisite on Dreamhost? I've chatted with two support types who didn't have a clue, saying DH didn't support third-party software and that DH didn't have an opinion on which configuration (subdomain or subdirectory) to use. All they were sure of was that a VPS configuration was REQUIRED -- although they couldn't say why. But what I'm actually looking for is a procedure to follow that has worked for a few people. From reading this and a couple other threads and the DH support Wiki (below), it doesn't sound as if things are predictable or stable yet. (from the wiki: Networks If you enable Networking (Multi-blogs) in WordPress 3.0, be aware that Dreamhost adds 4 lines to the end of the wp-config.php file, which cause problems creating your individual blogs in the network. $server = DB_HOST; $loginsql = DB_USER; $passsql = DB_PASSWORD; $base = DB_NAME; What I'm guessing, but it is just a guess: 1. Any thoughts? Cheers, Art

An Interview with Thomas Knoll – Visioncaster and Community Architect
Editor’s note: Our next CM Story is with Thomas Knoll, who has been building communities for over a decade, working with companies like Zappos, Seesmic, Launchrock and now his own company, ClippPR. He’s one of the most experienced and knowledgeable community managers today and we’re extremely honored to feature him on TCM. Keep reading to learn more about Thomas’ story and join us today, Tuesday 2/12/2013 for a Live Hangout and Q&A with Thomas Knoll. Now, for the good stuff… 1. Most simply, a successful community is one that can survive a fight. It is very simple to create a group or list that can be ‘friendly’ with one another, and never dip below the surface to work through some passionate and personal feelings, thoughts, and opinions. 2. I have been building online communities for over 16 years, and no two communities are alike. 3. The loyalty and ‘evangelism’ of a strong customer community has a significant impact on the bottom line. 4. 5. 6. No. 7. 8.
Help Shy Kids—Don't Punish Them - Susan Cain
All children should learn how to make their voices heard. But grading them on class participation may not be the answer. rzymuR/Shutterstock Jessica Lahey, author of the piece "Introverted Kids Need to Learn to Speak Up at School," is a teacher who obviously cares deeply for her students. She's absolutely right that reticent children need to be sensitively encouraged to push through their fears so they can make their voices heard when they have something to say, and so they can face the world with confidence and joy. As others have pointed out in the comments, however, her article is primarily about shy children who fear social judgment, not introverts who simply prefer quieter environments and think before speaking. Here are some alternative ideas for helping shy children: 1) Use the "Think, Pair, Share" technique. 2) Wait before calling on students. 3) Use social media in the classroom. 4) Strategize with the student.
Networks, Crowds, and Markets: A Book by David Easley and Jon Kleinberg
In recent years there has been a growing public fascination with the complex "connectedness" of modern society. This connectedness is found in many incarnations: in the rapid growth of the Internet and the Web, in the ease with which global communication now takes place, and in the ability of news and information as well as epidemics and financial crises to spread around the world with surprising speed and intensity. These are phenomena that involve networks, incentives, and the aggregate behavior of groups of people; they are based on the links that connect us and the ways in which each of our decisions can have subtle consequences for the outcomes of everyone else. Networks, Crowds, and Markets combines different scientific perspectives in its approach to understanding networks and behavior. The book is based on an inter-disciplinary course that we teach at Cornell. The book, like the course, is designed at the introductory undergraduate level with no formal prerequisites.
Why Facebook Could Actually Be Good For Your Mental Health
By Sy Mukherjee "Why Facebook Could Actually Be Good For Your Mental Health" Go ahead — check those notifications. According to a new pilot study conducted by Dr. Alice Good of the University of Portsmouth, the vast majority of Facebook users use the social network to lift their spirits when they’re feeling down by navigating their old photos and wall posts in which they’ve interacted with family and friends — a “self-soothing” coping mechanism somewhat akin to flipping through a photo album or watching old home videos. Researchers argue that that could be a big boost for users who are prone to anxiety or depression by providing a healthy emotional conduit for reminiscing about the good times in one’s life. Psychologist Dr Clare Wilson, also of the University of Portsmouth, said: “Although this is a pilot study, these findings are fascinating. But those findings derived from users’ envy at their friends’ vacations, life milestones, and various successes.
