    Is there any way to do this:

    Check it out, daily.gigaom.com is now hosted on WordPress.com. If you're logged into WP.com you'll see the admin bar on the site. We're seeing some folks do some interesting things with Custom CSS, like Lorelle and Mirkwood and we've got about a dozen folks testing domain mapping.

    Old thread, I know. I was thinking about this on the way to the library today.

    I've been sitting here trying to work out a method actually. You would have to of course do a CNAME from the new domain name to the old one. I would imagine that you would also have to edit the sitename as it appears in wp_*_options as well as wp_blogs. But, if you do that, the site I doubt would answer to teh old name which wouldn't be good.

    But isn't that what the wp_site table is for? (blogs.dir and wp-config notwithstanding).

    That's what I'm trying to work though in my head. I've always done domain forwarding myself.

    I went ahead and did a CNAME for http://drmike.uni.cc

    Once that goes though, I'll muck around with it.
