Hi Barrie - I have registered www.onedrumfestival.com with netowrk solutions. My current address with simplweb is http://148onedrum.simplweb.com.

Can you let me know what I should tell Network Solutions (Cname or c record and those numbers ???) so that people can search and find the one drum site and they see www.onedrumfestival.com in the bar along the top.

Thanks Barrie - Terry

    To do this you need to register a domain and edit the "DNS".

       1. In the backend of the site you want to set up, go to
    Components > Site Manager > Domain Manager
       2. Enter your domain and save
       3. Click Apply (make sure you do this step and don't just save
    and leave)
       4. Create A records in the domain manager of your domain
    registrar pointing to 173.203.109.69
              * www IN A 173.203.109.69
              * @ IN A 173.203.109.69

    Thanks Barrie - I made the changes and it sort of works . The site loads at
    the correct address

    Www.onedrumfestival.com

    But some of the modules are missing or incomplete.. Would you mind looking
    at it for me ?? Thanks - Terry

    It should all resolve in a couple of hours. It's path issues as the
    domain is resolving.

    I don't think you can with that player. But again, In my experience..
    visitors won't like that too much.

    Hi Barrie - question for you --- when I google "one drum festival vt" the
    first result is linked through my Path of Life Garden website.. I know
    people are finding www.onedrumfectival.com... But why does my page not even
    show up on a google search -- thanks for your help - Terry

    Hi Terry

    Not sure, perhaps that site has "stronger SEO"?

    In the google search box, type

    link:www.yoursite.com

    to see how many and what sites are linking to them.
